I just read ch 1-20 of "Looking for Answers" in one sitting. I'm not hooked, I can quit anytime I want to. I just don't want to! On to the next part -  Great stuff, Louise.

CH. 47 SPOILER






After revealing the story of Earl and Rich, just as he had to Jack at the campfire so long ago, look at what happened to Ennis:

"Ellery raised his hand and brushed back the short curls around his ear, stroking his cheek, saying nothing,"

Perfect bookends to all the events between that led up to this moment of revelation for Ennis, this time with Ellery. Beautiful, Louise. And what a different outcome! Ennis knows this time not to let the fear stop him from living out this new love that he has found. Nothing and everything has changed; outside, the world still causes pain, but inside, a new man has found a reason to fight the fear.

That last chapter had me in tears Louise and I kept re-running the "Love you, love you so much..." through my head all night as I was sleeping.
