This is remarkably well written and effortlessly held my interest from the first paragraph to the last. The story is well developed, the characters sympathetic, and the tale is grim and yet hopeful. I look forward to the next installment. But, where is the sex? The author has removed the erotic from Literotica. This story is about as steamy as a Sunday School hymn. But the observations made, and the literary quality, are formidable. I can only assume the sexual scenes will flourish in the subsequent postings. As soon as later Installments are published, I'll promptly devour them..
