This story looks great! This was my era and this is the first story I've found about it.

Looking forward to more.

Aha! She is coming to her senses, that will be a loud thunder! Wonderful, always with the hint of tragedy underneath. Thank you.

Very, very unusual writing. Slightly hard to follow - but I'm determined to. I liked the end. Now I get a feeling for what Bella is about.

It's so great to have another story from you & so soon after your last one. I love your writing. I love how you create a sense of place. Just wonderfully done.

Can't wait to see what's really going on with Edward and Bella, or what had gone on. Bella sure has her hands full, esp. with her mom.

I can feel her swoons from here. That whisper of his name. Oh my!

Things will be interesting since he's working for her dad. Lovely chapter.

Her dad is not a nice guy?

Mama is crazy poor girl

Amazing. But, oh feck. The war.

Loved it :)

Edward lookin like Elvis at his 1960-70ish side-burned gorgeous best in Tennessee? WOW! Got me hooked again Counselor!

Would you send Edward to Nam?

I'm enjoying the character development very much.

I love love love this story. Growing up with a loved one who suffers from mental illness us hard enough. Add in a volatile marriage and it only makes things worse. I have a feeling that Renee is bipolar. Back then the solution was to put mentally ill patients in the 'nut house' or prescribe medicine that most of the time made things worse. I am extremely interested to see how things play out here. Either way, I'm all in!

I am also eager to see how Bella and Edward's friendship got to be where it is today and how or if they can ever get it back. Once again I am looking forward to the next chapter.

From the edge of my seat,

Low numbers and Vietnam...brings back memories. The shop...great imagery...could actually smell it. Black haired Edward threw me a bit. Made me picture an Elvis from that time.
