One of the things I enjoy most about Regina Puckett's writing is her ability to pluck at your heartstrings easily. This short story is definitely one to make you cry -- and lift your spirit.This was a really sweet, heartfelt retelling of Sleeping Beauty that I read in one sitting. Most of the characters from the fairy-tale retain their name and their personality, but are put in a real-world, modern setting with a bit of a twist. If you're looking for a romantic read to pass the time and make your eyes mist, then this is the one (I'll admit it, I cried, especially during the bit at the nursing home, which was once a reality for me).My only complaint was that I wish this was a little bit longer, and that we got to hear more about Phillip's past.Overall, a very sweet story good for any occasion, and a brilliant reminder to live life to the fullest. I'm looking forward to seeing more fairy-tale retellings from this author!Bravo, Mrs. Puckett, bravo.
