A culmination of short stories and poems, all crafted by a talented author with a gift for the written word. I was moved by the power of reflection, touched by the heat of seduction, and rocked by the sadness of loss and longing. Each story is succinct and memorable, a direct result of artistic cultivation by an author with a definitive understanding of emotional representation.I thoroughly enjoyed each story, and especially loved the closing paragraph;"This is the spot twenty-year-old-me stood in, just a week after the wedding, holding Justin's hand. Right here is where she fell in love with this house. She whispered giddily, "And they all lived happily ever after."Walking to the front door is more draining than running a marathon. Turning the lock seems to take forever. Before I close the door for the last time, thirty-year-old-me stage whispers, "The End.""Give this collection a read, if nothing else but to put a smile on your face.
