I'm a sucker for a good romance, but this is more than that. This almost doesn't belong on an erotic site. It's just good fiction. I also like a story that knows its subject and tells me something I didn't already know. Ronde always puts out good work, but this goes to the top of the list.

The Hits Jus' Keep A'Comin...
Dear Ronde - - -
Once again you have started my week with a most exquisite piece of storytelling.
If you ever come to the Northwest, I'd be pleased to meet you and take you out for a steak.
Thanks for being one of the best authors on Literotica, and I have to agree with another comment, which is that your work should be in more places than Literotica.
Excellent story, very much a step above the normal. I hope this story finds the wide audience it deserves.
I almost didn't look at it, because of the title, being on literoica you never know ;-) But no other title would do this fine work justice.
A very well crafted and emotional story, so much more than the erotic stories on this site. Loved it

Amazing Story
Supurb story.....having visited the Great Smokey Mountains nurmerous times your words created a vivid picture in my mind of the many memories I have of the area. The characters were very real and the story line touching. Refreshing change from the usual stories in Literotica. Amazing Grace just happens to be one of the most moving songs I know. Thanks.

Thank you for this blessing of a story
You have wrote a story that is honest and telling about people that have great a love and peace. This is one of the best stories I have read in many years. I was reduced to tears by the memories that it recalled for me. I come from simple roots and many times feel lost in the todays unfeeling material world. Thank you from the bottum of my heart for this story. Please keep more like this coming!!!!

Morfe of Ronde's best. However, what's in a name? I almost didn't read it because of the title. At first glance I thought it was grandparent/grandchild incest. I took a chance when I saw "Romance" and knew I was good to go when I saw "ronde"
Beautiful Story. WOW! So well written and thoughtful.
You are a very good writer. Thank you. I am glad I
got to read it. In my opinion it is good enough to
publish. Thank you again.

A very polished romance. From the very first paragraph I was "grabbed" by it - I could not stop reading.
A veritable song of love.
Thank you Ronde!

Finally!
Its so wonderful to read a story with a moral backing. I was engulfed from the moment I began to read. I will also be partial to the story due to the fact I live in the Mountains of Tennessee. Its almost like I knew these people and am one of them. Please continue with your writting for it would be a loss to readers if you stop. You have true talent.

As a granny's girl myself....Yes a grandmother infuences and revels in their grandchildrens success....May this story find every little girl for whom Grandma was their inspiration.
Very sweet story with lovely characterizations and settings.

why is this story here?
an inspirational sort that needs a hardbound cover, not into such literotic site. Ronde's best collection of selection-->>try this for a book cover. Best quality.:)
You seem to have put so much time and effort into finding out about Christy, her family and how she came to be. And then, it feels like someone else started writing or you got bored because it became this weird step-by-step process. 1)Terry finds Christy, 2) Out of no where Terry says I love you, 3) Suddenly Christy says it back 4) They get married, 5) They have sex. Ta-da! I just thought it seemed so rushed. You could have drawn out the romance between Terry and Christy and the story would have been delicious. However, I still liked it. Thanks.

Observations on your story.
I know this site is known for its sexual content, but this story is so well written and its characters so engaging that it stands on its own merit. I sincerely hope you write some actuall novels. You have a serious gift and need to let the rest of the world get to know it.

Deja Vu
I know these people. I grew up in a rural Alabama farming community with a large component of church and music and then on to a career as a professional musician. I could actually picture people from my past as I read this beautiful story. Several times my reading was interrupted by tears as something in the story resonated in my memories. Well done!
I absoloutly loved this one. As I said before u really are versatile.

Your wonderful ability to create such a wonderful Love story has been shown so many times in your other Great stories. You are the only Author that I will read ALL of your stories. I am a 70 yr old man and you brought a tear to my eye, Thank You.
What a sweet, wonderful story! Sometimes we get so wrapped up in complicated plots and action that we can lose sight of what an amazing thing love can be, and if you've got love, hardly anything else matters very much. Thank you for the gift of this tale, so haunting in its sweet simplicity, and so delicately told.

that is just a brilliant simple story of family love
it was so tender and the love was just amazing.....so tender and just shows how family is all important when it projects so much love......a beautiful tender story.....loved it

amazing
In a way, it could be your best. It isn't very erotic, so it seems a little out of place on literotica, but I'm glad it is. Thank you
i absolutely love your work but this stands heads and shoulders above everything else you've written. The poignancy and the purity of her love and the reverence of she and Terry had for their family and faith brought tears to my eyes, I applaud you. Thank you
The first time, I read this at a normal pace. This time, knowing how special it is, I made sure I didn't have to hurry, and I took my time and enjoyed the little touches you put into it here and there. Terry's interest in the way the little cabin had been built and his appreciation of the grandfather's craftsmanship, which foreshadowed his appreciation of the wonderful granddaughter who descended from him. James Wilson telling Christy to sing out because her momma's listening. And that amazing passage, "...the tentative kiss of a man afraid to do more, but unable to do less."
Thank you for posting this little jewel of a story, and leaving it here for ten years so I could enjoy it.
The sweet simplicity of this story keeps drawing me back. I first read it three years ago, and I go back to it when I want, or need, to be reminded that life doesn’t need to be exciting or dangerous to be meaningful.
At every reading I seem to focus on a different scene. This time, it was the night she first sang with James Wilson and the quartet that got me choked me up.
This is truly a masterpiece, and again I thank you for it.
