It is difficult to rate and review this short story because of its length. The writing we get is beautiful, the story succinct and sad. It brought a tear to my eye.

I really liked this short story. It’s hard to read, but beautiful. A beautiful story about a mother who wants to save her daughter from her horrible husband. A story of how men just want beautiful, pure women who do what they say
