This might a short story but it’s one that will really make you think. Abby used to collect lost things when she was a little girl. Now that she’s older, things haven’t been going her way. Bills are piling up and her car is on the fritz. Then she finds a diamond necklace that would certainly help her out. Alas, she is stuck between a rock and a hard place, does she keep the necklace to help her with her troubles, or does she do the right thing?

Talk about a dilemma! I really enjoyed the juxtaposition of how things occurred in Abby’s life. It really makes you think about karma. Also, I really enjoyed the ending. BUT I enjoyed it so much that I wanted more! I seriously got to the end and said “NOOOO, I want more of this.” I would love to see this story expanded.

Beautiful. This story tugged tightly on my heart strings. I wasn’t sure where it would end up but I love where it did.

Sweet short story from author Stefanie Nici in which Abby, coping with multiple losses in her life and the effect upon her life, faces the choice of doing the wrong thing and prospering or of doing the right thing and facing further hardship.

A moral tale, in which the wages of sin are weighed against the potentially dubious reward of virtue. Which does she choose? You’ll have to read to find out.

Short sweet perfect read.
Stefanie Nici.

Writes books that pull you right in and the ending is absolutely perfect.

Sometimes when you find things that aren't yours. Giving them back is the only way.
Sometimes the reward is all that matters.


This was a short story that it could have been a full length book.It was so good.

I absolutely enjoyed this one.
