This is a new one for me.  Dragons.  I expect it in children's tales - perhaps even YA.  This did not have such youthful feel to it (fairytale type). Even for the happy ending.  I certainly think that a tween could read and enjoy it.  I also think a parent could read to a child (perhaps some language adaption there for father's dialogue) and it might suit as well.  Still, I don't feel it was out of the realm of adult fare either.  A bit of a nice tale with a nice pace and happy resolution with the fantasy of a couple of dragons (magic) tossed in.  Nice bit of light reading for 10 minute wait in doctor office (or similar such - coffee break).A girl who has an impossible father tries to always appease him.  Seeming all they have is each other way out in the wood.  She is a good girl (young woman probably) who dabbles in healing arts in a land where dragons and people war with each other.  There is no world building contained here - this is too short for such.  However, the gist is easily gleaned based in dialogue between girl and dragon she helps heal and her father who mentions council who take care of such dragon matters (sights and captures).  In order to save the creature she must defy pops and she is ultimately rewarded for doing so.  The reward added a nice twist to tale.I would read something longer by this author.Christine
