What a Delight

The thing that always amazes me about Beverly Coyle's writing is how much information and feeling you have about characters within a few pages. She writes with a vivid, but simple economy of words that reveals a lot with very little. I loved these stories - especially the title story. She understands so much about mother-daughter dynamics and about forgiveness and how/when it's possible.
