It is so often that the imperfect among us are perfect in their hearts. This is a beautiful, emotional and sensitive tale, which clearly shows your development as an author. The story is well told, cleverly constructed and, yes, the end can often be the beginning. You play exquisite music on the heartstrings of your audience - lovely!
