These stories were amazing. I could not just sit them down, relying instead on negotiating with myself when I would pick it up again. The stories are deeply moving and while they don't tie up neatly like fairy tale endings, they do scream as to the human spirits drive to survive all odds, by any means necessary. Amazing work! |
