Review by: Scott Roche on Sep. 14, 2011 :
I don't give stories five stars very often, but when I do it's for a well told story that you will read more than once. This is one such story. Dan breaks a few of the "rules" that I hear on a somewhat regular basis:

"Don't write in dialect."
"Don't write in first person."
"Don't get involved in a land war in As.."

Okay maybe not that last one. Suffice to say this is a touching, haunting, beautiful story and is underpriced at $.99 in terms of how much pleasure I will get out of it.
