The verbal imagery is crisp and clear and makes me feel like I've been there.<BR/><BR/>I have to agree with your sis on all counts--you should continue writing--you're a natural. :) <BR/><BR/>Now you have to hound your loving sis into churning out one of her own--it would be interesting to see how two girls growing up in the same place interpret where they are from.<BR/><BR/>I'll try and squeeze in some time to do this, too.
