One Shoe is the debut publication by S.R Crawley. I discovered this work through the author’s post on Facebook requesting a beta reader for her draft. The book consists of three short stories with an interesting connectiona preteen girl riding in a car wondering why she always sees only one shoe lying along the highway. The author does a nice job of developing the main characters so that you empathize with them. Each story is a clever explanation behind why the preteen girl would spy just one shoe lying along the roadway. Michelle Wineheart is about Bernard, the cable guy who lusts after Michelle, one of his customers. She loses her shoe when Bernard decides to act on his urges. Eugene Young is the fifteen-year-old title character. He and his mother, Estelle, have a sweet, loving relationship. In spite of the family’s financial hardships, Estelle buys him an expensive pair of running shoes for his birthday. He loses a shoe in a fight with some bullies in the street. Billy McCall is the story of an expert repair man. He is the mill’s “go-to guy” whenever there is a mechanical problem. He loses his boot on his way to a late-night repair job. The author explained to me that she was the preteen girl in the story. She has quite an imagination. I look forward to reading more of her stories.
