My review    [rating=4.5]
An absolutely delightful story. The author has managed to a pack in so much emotion into a short story.
Calla is going through so much all at once. She’s a woman who finds out, several months after her divorce, that her husband had been cheating on her. Her daughter is attempting to mother her. Finding out that her divorce settlement has gone up in smoke and that she has to look for work again post retirement. She feels drawn to another man. Her trust issues prevent her from giving him a chance to explain himself.
Despite all her problems, her heart is in the right place – reaching out to children who need academic guidance and acceptance.
A sweet, happy ending, in which Calla finds love makes this short book complete.
I’m sure that the other stories in this collection must be fantastic too.
