Honestly, if it were legal to do in this contest, I would give this story FOUR STARS **** You very successfully managed to get me to know Nana very well and follow her to a very natural conclusion when we see the people from the inside out. I found it a very poignant story.

Denna - I was pleasantly surprised to read your story. I didn't know you have such a gift for writing. As I read the story, I imagined every detail as you described... and felt the ending within my heart. I also enjoyed the "local" references! You've got my vote!

This was a well written and captivating story, I hope it was fabrication, at least the ending. The story held my interest from start to finish. I'd say well done. Only one negative comment and that would be your choice of paper for the book. The patterned paper distracted from the story. If the reader thinks or is thinking of anything but the story you've got problems. Great job and thanks for sharing it.

This was a great book. It shows how fast things can happen that you dont expect to happen.

Thank you very much for the comments and the vote. I'll take a look at yours today.

Good plot and characterization. I enjoyed it. A beautiful story. Voted.
