Thanks, Concetta! I’m not completely happy with the ending–I know it will still see some revision–but I’m glad you like the story. I’ll try to be better about remembering to link to FB, and also, if you haven’t already, you can sign up for email notifications (look for the “Follow blog via email” widget in the right-hand column). I appreciate the support and encouragement!

Wow, thank you for posting this! Exquisite all the way through, and the tension keeps building, until I gasped at the end when I discovered Willow’s fate.
Simply gorgeous … every single word.
Please keep writing. The world needs these stories. 🙂

Aw, thanks, Kirsten! I really appreciate (and NEED) the encouragement! The anthology story alludes to a lot of what’s happening in this one, but from the parent’s pov. The two in conjunction are supposed to emphasize the way each generation misreads and misunderstands the other. Not sure if I’ve accomplished that–I know they both still need work–but for right now, I think (hope) they both stand OK on their own.
