...While all these events sounds interesting on paper and make for great drama and gossip, I find the book to be excessively imaginative often describing irrelevant things or objects that I didn't need explained. I understand that writer's wish to give you the "feeling" of being actually there, but for me personally, I don't need an extensive description of what a snowy day look and feels like unless I have never seen snow. Also, there is a lot to the story like the husband who died that is not written about in detail. Not even the memory of the day he dies or how he dies is in the book. To be honest, I am not even sure what the husband died from or when. I just know he died.

In my opinion, with a little less random irrelevant descriptions and more information on the relationships between Torie, her husband, his death, her only living son and their domestic issues after the children's deaths it would have been a more interesting read and I could have finished reading this short story way sooner.
