She is a helpless woman who neeeeeds a maaaaaaaaaann to be fullfilled and whole....
5 Big Stars! Really enjoyed this. And I loved her daughter's advice, "Don't fight life." Really well done, as always.
Just read the comment about Dawn being a helpless woman, who desperately needed a man. I disagree. You showed that she'd managed to get on with her life after her husband had betrayed her and ruined their marriage. And she had been resistant to meeting anyone new, since she felt she was doing fine on her own.
But when she met Mr., or should I say Dr. Right, she finally let her guard down enough to find happiness. So, I would hardly describe her as desperate and lonely and needing a man to feel whole or fill a void in her life.
Wanted to rate it better but for 3 pages barely a conversation then everything sets up, closes and ends in a page and a half.
Corny? Yes. Contrived? yes. Predictable? Yes. Too good to be true? Absolutely! But fun, enjoyable and satisfying to be sure. Thanks for a pick-me-up on a cold day. 5*
Very well written, delightful buildup, and intelligent characters which are not easy to write. Thank you for sharing. 5*
A perfect entry for a holiday season story. Leaves us feeling good about life, if only for the moment. They made me stop at 5 stars, dammit!
Fairy tales never happen, but it's nice to read them just the same. Why can't people dream about great things happening to them? So as we live our ordinary lives we occasionally brush against the edges of real life fantasy. So enjoy! 5*
I found myself rooting for her to resist. Probably just to spite the irritating busybody daughter.
Still, well thought out and written.
Please write another part, maybe Shana will get a new father and brother or sister!
I'd love to see a part 2 "Dawn's New Day"
Maybe Dawn could turn the tables on Shana set her up with Sonny.
It would serve Sal right if Dawn became a Doctor's wife AND new mother.
Maybe Sal would acknowledge his wayward Ways, and apologize to both his ex-wife and estranged daughter.
