Review: Outstanding Short Story!
Rating: 5 out of 5

If you are looking for a good, short story that will be a good ten to fifteen minute filler during your lunch break at work, I'd recommend this one.  Without having a spoiler, I will tell you the author quickly grabs your attention and gets to the point, tells the tale, brings home the conclusion, and the dialogue is germane to the story and not full of fluff (a minor pet peeve) - all of those traits, in my opinion, are hard to do in a short story as, by definition, you are limited in the amount of words vs. the small forest you can kill with a novel.If you do read this during your lunch break, be prepared to get a tissue or something - this one grips you from just about the outset as you put yourself in the shoes of the main characters.  Wow, Ms. Young can certainly grab you and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author!
