I must admit I didn't expect much from this story. I downloaded it more out of curiosity than anything else. I am very pleasantly surprised.I really liked this story. Carole is a very unpleasant person. She has an ice-cold demeanor and a hateful take on everything. Unfortunately, I found I could relate to some of her cold and judgmental opinions. I could understand her cynicism. I think we all have a bit of that in us, whether we make it known or not. This story reminds me that those feelings and attitudes lead to nothing and are totally counter productive. I loved the way the 3 visitors opened Carole' eyes and gave her the opportunity to start again.While I found this story well written and thought provoking, it is not without problems and could use another pass with an editor's eye. There were several errors, such as "Though a beaded curtain, Carole glimpsed..."Because of the errors, I gave only 4 stars; however, if the errors were to be corrected, I would happily give 5.I recommend this story and would read this author again.
