Dollycas's ThoughtsBarbara Taylor Sissel has written a very compelling story with some unexpected twists.The character Cotton makes a split second decision that changes not only his life but the lives of others. It sends him into a downward spiral that lasts until he meets the right person to help him put his life back on track. Alcoholism is a terrible disease many people live with staying sober just "one day at a time". Part of Alcoholics Anonymous is their 12-step program. Step Nine is to "make amends". This step is hard when so many people are involved and you did something terrible when you were blinded by alcohol.Livie life has been in a sort of limbo. You can't just stop loving someone if when they broke your heart. Then just when she is getting stronger and her life is moving forward the one she loved so much returns. She wants to trust him again but her friends and family do everything they can to keep them apart and protect her.Both characters had rocky years growing up. As does a certain little girl that has a major impact on this story.This an emotional story with multifaceted characters. A fine piece of fiction. Another author I want to read more from.
