Beautifully expressed, as is always the case with this exceptionally talented writer. Whether the subject is lighthearted or at times deeply troubling, as is the case here, I’m never disappointed with the the stories CJPalmisano shares with us!
Good Lord! It's too bad that Cam didn't choke on one of the clams, grab his mother by the throat in the throws of his asphixiation, snap her windpipe and then thrash hard enough to kick his sister's teeth down her throat. Then you could have walked out of there sad, but triumphant. (Emotional reaction to a very well written story.)
This is sad, sad, sad. It infuriates me. I am hoping now for part two CJ, that illustrates how she survived this harsh reality and how it changed her self perception. A tough story to tell. You did a fine job of it.
What a wonderful story told exquisitely about the teenage angst over pregnancy, class differences, and family disapproval. It was a different time but that could not ease the pain and feelings of inadequacy thrown on Grace. Good riddance to Cameron.
Oh I love this. The desperation of the protagonist—the utter cold “clamminess” of the in-laws. The sneering arrogance that still doesn’t win against the clear smart mockery of the narrative. I wanna know what happens next. She realizes she cannot debase herself anymore, so what will she do or say???? I wanna know more!!!!

Thank you, Sandy. I like your suggestions and will keep them in mind if I decided to write a sequel! :D
I’m with you on the clams. I’ll stick with scallops and haddock, thanks.
Thank you, Amie. Glad we're in sync!
