This is a unique tale to me.  Quite creative premise wise.This is a story about a girl who has estranged parents and she really knows nothing about her father other than she feels a strong bond to him and his art.  In this story she recalls snippets of family disputes and is unable to piece together what went wrong.  Her mother is not forthcoming about her father and has barred the girl from his art room.  At a certain age, the girl takes charge and makes a change in the dynamic between her mother and herself.  Their relationship is forever changed.  And she never really gets to know anything more due to the strain.  She is obsessed with memories that merely confuse until the end when she learns an important detail about her father.  Though, I must say, it did nothing to enlighten the reader to the dynamic beyond producing evidence of some sort (trying not to give spoiler here) .  The real answer this reader was interested in was related to what the father lost (besides that one piece) and how it fit with daughter.  It was almost eluded to another love or some such that remained unclear.  Perhaps only to me.  In any case, it was still interesting and a fast paced read.I reduced one star due to a number of errors missed in editing.  A piece this short should really be error free (or nearly) .Christine
