Rare to see a story that doesn't actually need an ending. "Always leave them wanting g more..." except I realised I'd written the more in my head sfter clicking the pretty stars and having them save.
Nice story.
While it's possible that the bust in the library could be Dale Carnegie (and how that came to be might be an interesting story), it's more likely that it is Andrew Carnegie.
Your request sounds like it may be from one of the stories by either Barry James1952 or Weiszlicka (spelling?). Those are the only 2 writers that I have read who give cheaters a second chance. I tried looking up Weizlicka in the search engine, but the search engine on Lit says "contains..." but I've never gotten it to give me anything if I did not have the entire name spelled completely and correctly.
A fine piece of writing, I would like to believe that such towns exit still ,but watch too much American news that is depressing.
Your story is so good that it makes me wish I lived there and knew the inhabitants!
Andrew Carnegie built over 1500 libraries in the USA, many of which still function as local libraries.

Lovely story. And I saw Jacobi in MUCH ADO and CYRANO when the RSC toured in 1984. Never has been a better Benedick.
This is a sweet story, and I enjoyed reading it very much. I do wonder what Judy’s boyfriend’s name is. I thought I saw Chris, Ted and then Jimmy. Perhaps it’s my mistake. No matter, as he was only a minor character, and a bit of a contrast to the others.
Once again, thank you for writing and thank you for sharing your work.
Lovely story. And what a way to bring it to a close. Five stars. Thank you.
Definitely a 5 star job. Referencing THE PRISONER [ the greatest TV show of all time] kicks this to a fave!
Be seeing you...
So , I want to know more about this town. I’m sure there are more stories hiding tgere
I enjoyed that. Thank you. Nicely written with a very uplifting feel to it and, of course, a happy ending.
I found this gem by looking at the favourite authors of a reader who had favourited me. Great plot and well written,. Thank you for writing. I shall be reading more of your stories. PS I knew what the final line was and didn't have to cheat. 5 *
Your stories, as far as I have read them yet, have all the characteristics of the most romantic fairy tales I have come to love. They make an old man smile or shed tears, but always warm the heart. Thank you so much!
