Chapter 15 is up!

This fic is so aptly titled. Every chapter is like coming home - and you're so happy to be there. :)

Whoo-eee. Almost had a heart-attack (;)) when I saw this thread popping up :laugh:. I missed the February chapter because I didn't read any fanfic back then, and later wanted to wait for the next chapter (the author had such a long hiatus sometime last year, I thought she'd never end this story).
But now that's something to look forward to after my visit at the dentist today.
belbbmfan:
Gosh, what a treat this story is!
And good news that the author said she will update more frequently!
I find the parts where Junior thinks about her mother hard to read, but very well written. She really gets inside Junior's head.
'She couldn’t do right by her mama now—it was too late. But she could do better with her daddy.'
I can't wait to read more about how the relationship between Junior and her dad will develop.

This is a great story to ease yourself back into fanfic, Chrissi - and just the thing after a trip to the dentist!

Yep, I mentioned it in my comment because that really stood out to me. A short and simple memory, but so powerful and moving - and made even more so because it looks like it could be the catalyst to a closer relationship with her dad. Bittersweet and beautifully written.

Chapter 16!

SPOILERS
A really nice mix in this chapter. I'm glad J&E calmed down a bit about the broken arm - looks like some good lessons were learned and some positive developments came out of it. Bobby and Lureen for one. And wasn't it great that Bobby spoke of Junior as his sister! And it looks like she thinks of him as a brother, too.
My heart broke for poor Louisa (for all the McGowans, really). But sweet Jack couldn't have been kinder or more understanding.
I'll be sorry to see this story end. Is anyone reading midget-size's other story, "Healing Wings"? I thought the subject matter might be too depressing, but she handles it so deftly she hits just the right tone. A unique premise and as beautifully written as WPFAAT.
