My greatest accomplishment is that I raised two daughters that love to read.

Your light-hearted comment made me smileI especially like McCollister's talent for crafting eloquent passages that invite rereading: "As soon as you spoke, I knew it was a perfect fit. Your name was beautiful, but Claire seemed to capture you, all of you. So fragile, mysterious, strong, and beautiful, all wrapped in a song-like package." In my favorite story, "The Beach at Sunset," McCollister poignantly reveals Conner's pain from a recent loss and how his buried grief affects his perception and interactions with others. On a lighter note, the story also makes me long for a day at the beach!

It's hard to capture a poignant story in such a few short stories, so the author must be talented, for sure.
Thank you for the enthusiastic review!
