Happy WDC Anniversary, Winnie,


*Vignette5*The Heart of the Story/Poem:
A man returns to his home-town and relives a childhood memory of his best friends's murder. He escapes to college and a new life for many years after the incident. He returns home to see the burial of his father and hopefully he can let go of the rage and anger.

*Vignette5*Things That Might Make It Better:
Nothing as it stands. I would love to see it expanded.

*Vignette5*Punctuation/Spelling/Grammar:
None. You are the Comma Queen.

*Star*Things I Like/General Comments and Thoughts:
I was riveted during the entire read. I could feel the innocence, the friendship, and the love shining through your writing. Your story builds and then floats down. The strong verbs scream out to my heart. It reminded me of To Kill a Mockingbird a book I love and can read over and over. You are a great writer, Winnie. I look forward to spending more time in your port. I really like your writing style.

I can so relate to this. Integration did not hit south Atlanta until the early seventies. I, too, was shunned for befriending a beautiful black girl that just transferred to my high school. Her skin color made no difference to me. I saw a girl just like me with insecurities, acne and longing for acceptance.


*Gold* My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" Open in new Window..
