Smooth as Silk

by Alicia Hunter Pace

Rebecca Silverstream lost something that was so dear to her. Her boyfriend, Brian Johnson was taken away involuntarily because his family moved to another state. The following period brought sadness and loneliness. She did her best to continue her life but the love she had for him never diminished. Miraculously, they stumbled on each other in a most unusual way. Their meeting brought back old memories and rejuvenated new zest in them. They confessed their love to each other and a new journey began. Nevertheless, the future terrain presented obstacles to conquer. How well they adjusted and fought to preserve their love, unfolded into a drama that is exciting and thrilling. The narrative is filled with scenarios that capture the interest of the reader. Each event is carefully described and produces pleasure and enjoyment. For example, the social problem of race develops along the natural order of events. Its emergence contributes to the preponderance of heated dialogue that develops between Rebecca and her parents about Brian. The journey that followed produced a confluence of events filled with thrill, excitement, suspense and eventually a happy ending. The scenes were carefully developed artfully into a coherent piece of literary brilliance. There is no doubt that the narrative will stir the reader's emotion and capture his interest. Smooth as Silk succeeds in delivering good quality reading.
