Martine

This was a good short story. I liked it. Martine had a son when she was young and she never told her husband until it was time for him to come over to their house. It was a very interesting story. You never know what a person's past is.

Really nice short story!

We meet a college professor who had a child as a teenager, gave it away and moved on with her life. Then the young man shows up in her classes many years later knowing who she is to him..... Decisions have to be made and get current family had no idea what she had done in her past.

Where was the drama?

There was no tension, drama or interest created in this story. The characters were one-dimensional and the conversations and situations were unrealistic.

This is a cute short story about women who is reunited with the son she put up for adoption years ago. It is very well written and has a very good ending.

Short story about a woman whose secret from long ago finds its way into her established life and settled family. Nice first shot by a new author. She has potential.

This short story about the past suddenly coming into presence is too idyllic to be gripping.

Reconnected

This is a nice short story about a past reconnection. I love the small pause of intertwined French throughout the story. A nice short read.
