Title: Chapter 1: The Cast

Yay! You're back! Great!

I am very curious about how their talk will go.... As far as I can see Moliere is not at fault/ or to blame for Dr. Richards' interest. She doesn't strike me as flirty, on the one hand.

On the other hand, she has three of the men in the story jonesing for her. So, what is it about her that makes a Mark Richards think he can walk in and snatch her up?

Title: Chapter 2: Coming Home

I enjoyed it, but couldn't shake the association with Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump. :-D

 

 

you might need a beta-reader to help iron out spelling and other errors that spellcheck won't catch (like "steer" instead of "stare").

is it just my imagination, that you skipped directly over describing the really tense scenes: the fight when Dan tells her that he's joining the Army; her months of not hearing from him; the pain of him recovering and going through rehab maybe with only her face in his mind to motivate.

Each of those would make a great chapter in itself, or as flashback. Don't rush yourself... Or your story. It's worth it!

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1 - Carpe Diem

I'm quite pleased that you chose pre-independence Jamaica for your story. I like how you get in lots of little details.Just a few things that stick out for me:

why would they speak spanish? Spanish isn't the official language of Jamaica, and none of their background indicates that they came from somewhere spanish-speaking. It would have been highly unusual for the father converse with her in Spanish. At the time, she may have had access to spanish in school - as at the time wealthy South Americans sent their daughters to Jamaica to school to learn English.

 

Cherry Crescent would have been in one of the most exclusive neighbourhoods in Kgn/St Andrew at the time - I'm not so sure this family would have lived there in the early 60s. More likely sometime in the 70s, when many white families sold off their houses in a hurry to escape the socialist Manley government. Unless you personally know otherwise, then I'll leave it at that.

Don't get caught up in details though, just let your story shine through...



Author's Response:

Haha there is a yardie out there.

First, thank you for your review. 

1) The reason behind the Spanish is the father having no choice but to learn to speak Spanish as that was where the more elsuive dollars for his trade was a the time, South America. It was an interest in the language as well as the lucrative trade he would pass on to his sons. Faith wanted to miss out on nothing her father did nor would she allow the boys even more of an advantage.  She was also curous about the origins of the rivers and Spanish sounding names of the towns in Jamaica.

2) Hahaa with the Cherry Crescent wouldn't you like to know about that house but you will see and Cherry Crescent is fictional btw but the weight of the word Cherry does echo affluency so I guess I did my job.

Thank you for the advice with the details as I've never wrote an historical and wanted to be sure I was being true to form but I see your point. 

I look forward to the history lesson as neither my books nor my parents story would have illuminated that exodus for me.

Thank you
