I loved the way the characters' own fears ruled them and they thusly created their own fate. I liked the subtle humor through out the piece. In places the dialogue and transitions were a little choppy, but I put that down to word count cutting. The over all effect was a really positive story expierence. I'm a plot snob, so I love well written stories that have a beginning, middle and ending-especially one that satisfies the reader's expectations. Though you see the ending coming, it read naturally. I hope Carol Winters continues to publish. I enjoyed reading this story. I loved the way the characters’ own fears ruled them and they thusly created their own fate.

Great confluence of irony with a hint of humor: specifically, I love the "Holsom" Infant and Child home and the image of the clog-shod Harriet running on the icy sidewalk! And the subtle twist at the end really works! I loved this!
