What a beautiful and heart warming story Jake, it brought tears to the eyes of this old codger! Such a gem of a tale – perfect in fact. Any suggestions for improvement would be an insult. Heartfelt thanks1 Pete.
A short story which encompasses two entire lives without an extraneous word. Very, very well done.
I don't know if anyone ever accused you of that or not, but predictable is not something I assocoate with you. This is a really good story of survival during the depression. The kids did what they had to to get by and they came out just fine. Well done!
Very nicely done. Good change of pace for you. As always I can tell you did your research. Good Job!!!

Sometimes stripping things down can add depth. Well done.
I don’t know about the incest being ok or not as this story is laid out by this great to the point piece. Is this incest a natural effect of being really isolated from the world? I do know I really liked the story. It moved me and left me wondering if this behavior was damaging or knowledge of no societal pressure to belie real pain.<p>You did a great job of writing and making me read it twice. It did so engross my thoughts of how people survive outside a societal conception.<p>Please give us more of these well done differing story lines. Thank you for the entertainment and dilemmas of our prejudices.<p>PT
This is different and difficult to write, I'm sure.. But, no matter what, the love is great!
Or maybe it went RIGHT heh
Nice work and a great premise -
the historical setting was important to make it work so smoothly - it does not even require a suspension of belief being placed in the late 40's - good idea -
