How, in a few short pages, did I get a tear in my eye and a trembling lip on a mouth trying to grin? Ann Charles is a remarkable writer who removes the shiny varnish from motherhood and adult womanhood. We get older, we have sad stories, we're flawed and eventually we are mocked by our children. I love how Ann Charles makes me feel when I read her stories because I relate, commiserate and then I aspire to have the pluck and sense of humor that her heroines master. Seeing Trouble tells us about the man behind the twins. Bless Violet's poor little heart -- she was given a gift and given the short end of the stick in one fell swoop. I appreciate the background.
