Review: Kent Ashton's Backstory
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 9, 2013
This short story is from a young man's POV.  Manipulative parents demand Kent marry a wealthy woman so their lifestyle can be maintained.  Kent and his father are constantly battling.  His father advises Kent:  "if you want to marry for love, then choose a lady who happens to come from wealth.  One lady is as good as another."This is not a light read but does a excellent job of allowing the reader to feel and understand children being treated as a means to an end by parents.I will not re-read this book but look forward to reading Catching Kent.  (I hope we learn of his parents being destroyed both financially and in the social status they seek.)
