This does my heart good. Wish I had been there:
“Passed it [Where the River Ends] on to my sis who read it at the beach this week—-as she was finishing it (in tears) the guy came to collect the beach chair cushion—-he said “lady are you OK?”—-she said yes she was just finishing a great story and he could take the cushion but she was staying right there on the chair until she finished the story and her cry!!! He left her alone to “enjoy” the ending.”
