Reviews

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's been awhile since I read a collection of short stories I enjoyed this much. Not only are they entertaining, they are also a rare combination of thought provoking, humorous, inspiring, and a little bit addictive. Kinda like Jays potato chips, its impossible to stop at just one. Lets hope the author is preparing another bowl, or book soon!
