Review: Good précis of a story that should have been a novel.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This novella reads like a précis of a novel, as if it were written as a proposal pitched to a publisher. It would have been so much more satisfying if it had been developed into a full-length novel. I really liked the story line, but it rushed me too fast to the end. Everything was tied up too quickly and neatly. I would have very much enjoyed a more complex plot line. I felt robbed of the opportunity for a good, long read.Ms. Porterfield did a good job of imagining a great book. I'm disappointed that it was not developed into that book.
