      I’m glad you enjoyed the story, Kevin! I think most of us grew up with a Donna and a Gary.

      Thank you for reading the story and letting me know! I’d expect that most of us have a Donna and Gary we went to high school with.

    Liz, my heart was in my mouth reading this. It’s stunning. You don’t write astory you create a reality.

      Thank you, Paul. One of the writing goals I started out with was to be a voice for Enosburg Falls, Vermont and its people.

    More truth to this story than fiction for sure! Don’t we always feel sorry for the girl that ends up like Donna…and Gary for sure has our sympathy!
    So many people have started out their lives like that!
