Librarybelle The dress present was creepy, and the fact that he watches her while she prays…I‘m not sure where this will lead. 4mo

Bookwormjillk Yeah a lot going on here. We‘re not all that far into the book and so much has happened already. (edited) 4mo

TheBookHippie Only chapter 15 😳🤯 whew. 4mo

Ruthiella @Librarybelle Oh yeah. Mr Bradshaw = creepy. 😱 4mo

Cuilin My prediction is the Bradshaws will be Ruth‘s doom. Mr. Bradshaw using gifts as a controlling device, gave me the ick. 4mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle total creep. 4mo

BarkingMadRead @Cuilin 💯 4mo

mcctrish I agree @Cuilin Bradshaw wants a side gig 4mo

currentlyreadinginCO Sigh leave Ruth alone 4mo

dabbe I want Ruth to grow a spine! I want her to get tough like Tess! It seems like everything is happening TO her and that she's not doing anything to FOR herself. Maybe that's why there's still more ... I hope so. 4mo

AllDebooks Did anyone else think this chapter went from 0-60? Ruth was newly pregnant and dumped, and then she has a baby boy and a new lurking pervert! I'm looking at you, Bradshaw. 🤮 I hope we really start to see her character develop now she's a mother. 🤞 4mo

KAO I did like that in the last part of this chapter, Ruth finally looks back on Bellingham and becomes aware of his “selfish, worldly nature, unnoticed at the time” and recognized in his speeches “a low standard, of impatient self-indulgence, of no acknowledgment of things spiritual and heavenly.” I was hoping that a spine was born—but then came self-reproach for “judging the absent father.” Oy! 4mo

Bookwormjillk @AllDebooks yes, seemed really abrupt 4mo

rubyslippersreads I‘m glad Ruth finally recognized Bellingham for the cad he truly is. Now if she can just fend off the icky Bradshaw. 😠 4mo

julieclair I hope you‘re wrong, @Cuilin , but I‘m afraid you‘re right. 😕 4mo

She's Having a Baby: --and I'm Having A Breakdown | James D. Barron

I apologize for the poor quality, I really need a new phone. The camera hasn't been the same since I cracked the screen into oblivion a couple of years ago! 😭 I've been really bad and just started taking bump pictures last week. Oops! Funny I feel more comfortable posting this on Litsy than sharing on Facebook or Instagram! #ilovelitsy #baby #itsaboy
