It is tender, indeed. 'Lawrence' is a moving short story with clear messages on various issues, such as school-bullying, animal abuse and homosexuality played out by very interesting and lovable characters. My personal favorite is Mercy, an exemplary older sister of the titular character.
Based on this short story, I have bought Jon Sindell's The Mighty Roman. It was an adequate sample of his beautiful writing and admirable take on social issues.

I won't review my own story, but I think it's a tender and compassionate tale. The rest is up to you.
