Review of eBook

When she was fifteen, Noelle Mitchell ran away from home with her boyfriend, Reno, leaving her baby sister, Carolyn, her mother, and her father behind. She’s been gone for thirteen years and, in all that time, no one in her family has heard anything from her. Today, intent on apologizing for her actions all those years ago, she’s coming home.

When she returns, determined to explain, will she be welcomed? Will her explanation bring her family together again?

=========

This short story focuses on the Mitchell family: mother father, married daughter, Carolyn, her husband, Sam, and their daughter, Noelle. When long-missing daughter Noelle arrives on their doorstep on Christmas day, it’s clear that there are still some hard feelings about her abrupt disappearance some thirteen years earlier.

But this story is less about the characters and more about the message: family, forgiveness, and love. It’s bittersweet yet heartfelt; readers will find much to appreciate here.

Although the story neatly ties up the plot points, readers are likely to find themselves wishing there was more to the story. After all, everyone wishes to know what happens next!

This is a really short story, however it contains so much emotion in it, that it will make you cry!!

I am still in shock over the fact that I cried during this "short" did I say really "short" story. It was cute, sweet, but, left me needing more. I think it would be an awesome story to tell if there was more about her struggles. Cute, sweet, but, just a little too short. ( )

This is a short story with high climax and rushed peaceful ending. It tells about mistakes done in early youth and the day when you face them to be forgiven. ( )

This VERY short story is a charmer. Despite the author being known for erotica, this one's got no sex, nor even romance. Just a story about a teen runaway coming home to her family, years later, and the issue of mutual familial wounds and resentments, and whether they can be worked out.

Sweet holiday nibble, like a Christmas cookie, and best of all, FREE (at least at this time). ( )
