Short stories are wonderful and enjoyable reading snacks for those times when there’s little time for a chapter from a 300 page novel. It’s like eating chocolate…one little piece is never enough. It takes talent to write short stories because they have the same elements as a novel; but much shorter so every word must count.
The Treasure is a well blended twist of the Icarus myth of flying to close to the sun and Cinderella. Matilda has learned to navigate the harshness of her life with her despicable stepfather, Oaf and his son whom she has nicknamed Peacock. The story is about strength, adapting, survival and more importantly, leadership and ultimately peace both inside and out.
Broken takes place in today’s world between two sisters, Stella and Rachel. After the death of their parents from a car accident three years ago Stella assumed the running of farm while Rachel ran from her grief and home. Now, three years later with no job and no place to go, Rachel returns home to somehow put her life back into the world of the living. Broken is a story of brokenness. Rachel is fragile and has given up on herself and her life. Then, there’s Ebony, a misused and abused horse who must learn to trust again. My heart just opened with every written word.
I’m no stranger to Read’s writing as I have read all of her novels and enjoyed them all. These short stories left me pondering long after I closed my Kindle.
