— MA, 2/2/2014" This surprisingly wasn't a story about Christmas but instead family relationships. I liked the simile comparing parenting to the Wizard of Oz. This was a sad story but a good short story. "
— Jayne, 1/17/2014" I've read this one before but was listening to it on CD this time...you know, background while I cook. It's a witness to why we all need friends. No life is perfect or easy. The Lord gave us others to help us through the bumps. "
