Revelations Chapter Seven

This chapter continues with Jessie’s return from the foundations. I find myself enjoying writing (and reading) about Jessie.  I know she isn’t real, and her family’s interaction is more my wishes of how family life should be.  I can picture the characters very clearly and feel some of their comments could be true.

Revelations Chapter Five
