From the opening sentence to the last line, Myrna Dey, has crafted a literary gem. The characters are interesting and well defined. The trick of going from past to present is not an easy task, but Ms. Dey's efforts are flawless. The dark and light spots flow well, segueing one to the other and setting the hook deep. Her humor is light, well placed and original. Extensions ended up being a warm friend and fellow traveler. Thank you, Ms. Dey, well done.
