You know what I love? When an author trusts the readers enough to provide them with just enough information...just enough of the story to be drawn in then lets their imaginations do some of the work.  samrosey does that with each and every story she writes and Her Secrets is no exception.  Her writing is poetic, lyricial and beautiful so go check it out!
