aww, Mama Hale is such a sweetie! I love the poem at the beginning! :-)

Thanks for this outtake! I really love this story and have been thinking a lot about it the last week or so. I went looking around to see if you had updated and I had just missed it. So, of course, I am so looking forward to the "almost ready" update! Maybe I'll start reading it from the beginning again so I'll be ready :)

i legit got goose bumps. this was actually very very great writing. i loved it! :)

poor Mama Hale

all of these were beautifully done, bb. i love that you gave us this unique ALT POV. so many ppl forget the secondary victims of violent crime - the families that are left to help pick up the pieces.

thank you.

Loved it:) Loved reading Mama Hale's POV:) THANKS for writing such amazing stories:)

Ah! I cant tell you how excited I get everytime I see a JOotG update! Cant wait to read the next chapter!

Hey darlin! I'm glad to see you out and about!

I love the little trip into Mama Hale's head. So nice to see how many lives little Bella has changed... And I especially loved the chapter title.

Thank you for a fantastic update!

ILYH. SFM.

Heartbreaking! But I love it:) so glad to hear the update is well on its way! Take your time dear, I'm sure it'll have been worth the wait:) love love!

Thank you for this. You managed to get a lot of emotions in few words. It was great to see into Mama Hale's head.

Thank you. Outtakes make the original story so much fuller.

that was a good punch in the gut... :D

thanks for the look at mama hale. and i am ridiculously excited beyond belief for the next chapter. i'm your squee-out-loud fan who ... squees out loud ... when she gets a new chapter. :-) i'm warming up my squee ... :-P

Thank you for not forgetting our favorite series. We miss the characters, but I understand amazing writing takes time.

I can't wait for whatever you have for us next.

No fair. That made me cry. :(

I do so love your writing and I've been missing JOotG. Happy to hear that you are close to a new chapter. 3
