Reviews

On Oct 7 2011, Deebledd said:

In the fall of an unnamed year, someone leaves a paperback copy of Shakespeare's "The Tempest" at the store run by Holiday Blair's father in Lame Bear Gulch, Tennessee. Holly reads it, but doesn't know Shakespeare is dead, so she writes him a letter telling him how much she likes the play and giving him some advice on how to improve his writing. In just six letters, this little chapbook tells a touching store of how Shakespeare - aided by some friends - lifts a young girl's soul to a higher opportunity. What a wonderful discovery!
