Small Practical Help by Lara Prescott

3.0

I had to pick a book for a challenge - the prompt ... an author you previously disliked. Well since I seriously disliked "The Secrets We Kept" I figured a short story by Lara Prescott was a good place to start. No long commitment, an this would give me an idea as to whether or not I should continue with other books by this author. I'm not sure how I feel about her as an author. While I hated the reference to believers (like there's something wrong with being a believer), and I thought the reference to being seen in Ross was snobby, I found I wanted to know more about what happened to Ali, Sabeen, and Nancy. So I guess she did her job as a writer. I liked this short story much more than I liked "The Secrets We Kept." I might try another book by this author. I'd actually like to read more of this story.
