Don't waste your time, Dec 30 2011

For $4 you are buying ONE short story. What daylight robbery. Story was not inspiring or funny or anything like I've got used to with Cathy Kelly. Just one, short, boring story! Very disappointing.

Wow this isn't a book. Really wasn't worth what I paid for it. I'll be paying more attention to the file size before I buy from now on.

Simply Wonderful!, Nov 19 2011
By Amanda - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Letter from Chicago (Paperback)
This was a very short but very special story. The author gives a wonderful insight into the lives of ordinary people who you find yourself rooting for right up until the end. I read it in under two hours - but they were great hours. Not every story needs to be a sweeping saga. Sometimes, it's the simple tales in life--that we can all relate to--which make for the most charming and memorable stories. You could buy a magazine for $5.00 read it under an hour, and forget in less than a minute. This story is much better value than that--and it's a keeper. :)
