Scarlett quickly became best friends with Magnolia, Star’s daughter. Star was overjoyed at her new family.This novella gets four stars from me. There isn’t a lot of plot to this novella, though readers to get a chance to see inside the lives of these characters and to really get to know them better. The story just seemed pretty bland. As always, with Dawn’s writing, this novella is intended for those readers 18 years of age and older.
