This short fantasy is an unexpected gem. A modern fantasy which touches upon all of a parent's emotions.Ben's wife was fond of winter sports and Ben loved the summertime. Instead of fighting this difference, each opted to take an excursion on their own every year. Three years into their marriage, Ben's wife dies in childbirth while telling him that she's sorry. Jamie, born by emergency C-section, looks nothing like his father. But Ben decides to let his love rule over his grief and embraces fatherhood. But what exactly happened to his wife during her trip to Vale (sic)?This is a fabulous story that is very well-written, with only 2 (maybe 3?) grammatical errors that I noticed. Very unusual for kindle freebies. Character development and voice are very good. The only thing is that after this wonderful build-up, the story does seem to end a bit abruptly. I can see this being fleshed out into a full-length fantasy novel in regards to this mysterious winter kingdom of Lukana.
