I'm not awake enough for brilliant feedback this morning, but wanted to pop in and say I'm reading and enjoying this story very much.
And I love that you've portrayed Clark's foster family as healthy and normal rather than traumatic and abusive. The very fact of foster care is traumatic in itself, but there are terrific foster parents out there as well as bad ones. I liked seeing you call Sarah Clark's mother and Pete his brother. That's how the best foster families work; a real, if temporary, family.
Have fun back east.
