This was an emotionally potent story. I had the privilege of hearing the story in its first edits and thought it was very good. Now as a finished product I can say it is excellent. Trish developed the relationships very well. The reader can identify with the struggles of Merci, her dad, and others. Nothing is simple, easily solved, cured or healed. But the story leads to hope. Good job Trish!
