loved it as usual .the hurt rick was a nice touch.i love the way you mix all family members into the problems.

please keep writing

Wow - what a story! I could hear the fire crackling and smell the smoke when Rick was trapped, and I love the way thoughts of Laurie and their family kept him going. The younger generation has grown up to be as strong-willed and brave as their parents - the continuity is terrific and very moving. The image of the Chief watching over them at the end really ties it all together beautifully, too. Thank you for another very absorbing, exciting story. (Looking forward to the new baby Simon!)
