James, this is an intense write. I have two possible interpretations of her escape from a troubled life but I'm not going to ask, I'd prefer to ponder on those two different outcomes. Excellent ~ Sharon :)

It sounds like you're writing from experience, James, the words have such a ring of truth and reality. I, too, peer through windows to find freedom from past troubles. Very insightful, dear Highlander. This one goes to my faves! Love, Carolyn
