Pork chops for breakfast? Why not? Sounds good.

Strong interaction between Shana and Emily, demonstrated by how they put the puzzle together.

Emily seems to have an attraction for wanting her daddy home. Typical of children her age.

    Wow! You went back aways to find this one. I'm very grateful you've done that. I'm sorry no money's attached to reward you.

    Funny money is not all that important to me. I usually read something cause I want to, or if I can help someone get to Recognized or All-Time Best. Those are the pieces I like to review, and yes, I do look for them.

Cute chapter is entertaining and builds/reinforcement the relationships between the ladies.

Just a few things for your consideration-

At that moment, Jane and Emily entered. - maybe revisit for more active wording

Jane set the puzzle on the carpeted floor of the playroom. - Difficult to do a jigsaw puzzle on carpet. Is there a hard surface they can use?

they counted the four corners. - this would be done for a 2 to 5 or 6 year old? maybe a little young for Emily?

snickerdoodle is one word

With twinkling eyes and a smile, Emily said, "I'm sure Daddy will say they're his favorite, because they're mine. Mommy says we're exactly alike." - Too cute!!!

That's it. Great job!

    Emily is 5. I will take a looks a the other areas and will for sure correct snickerdoodle. As I wrote it the spell check corrected it to 2 words. LOL It's not in the dictionary. I am now using the dictionary. Not in dictionary, now the internet. Thank you

Hi Barbara, you're right there's not much action, but that is sometimes needed to get along with the story. I liked what i read though and I'm looking forward to what's next. All the best. Ulla:)))

I haven't read the beginning, but I like this chapter. I enjoyed how they were trying to cook kosher for Shana. It is difficult to adjust to another cultures way of cooking. Way back when I was in the Army one of my roommates was Jewish, I will admit I was an epic failure at trying to accommodate her to her food rules. (I love bacon, on everything, lol). but I did love her flat bread and scrambled eggs, with a side of bacon of course.

Hi there,

This is a nice insight into Emily, but doesn't do much to push the plot further along...

"Show me what you'd like and I'll help. We'll discuss kosher another day. - need closing speech marks here.

The explaining the corner piece to Emily made me pause a bit as she is 5. Would most five year olds not be pretty familiar with this by that age?

    I felt I needed to work on Emily and Shana's relationship because it will be important later in the novel. Thank you for the kind review.

Hi,

I was wondering how many

fan story chapters does it take to make up

a real chapter in a book

because it sure is taking

one heck of long time to get anywhere

to where the action is actually going to take place

I think there is just too much character development

all in one major chunk

It seems like it would be better and

hold the reader's interest more effectively

if more action were interspersed

in these chapters of character building

granted character building is important

but like salt a little goes along way

to bring out the favor

but too much spoils the dish

overall I think the way the dialogue

is written is good and flows well


Best regards,

K River

    You have a valid point, but the action will mean nothing if the characters aren't defined. Thank you for the kind review.

    PS there was plenty of action early.

I found no SPaG at all but I was a little puzzled by the lack of action until I read your explanation in the notes below. I will try to keep up and look forward to the exciting parts.
