Title: Angst gets in the way
Review: When I first read the synopsis of this story I thought it was going to be about a woman, who with the reluctant permission of her family and fiance, goes back to her grandmother's house to grieve for her lost sister and rediscover her past and the things about herself that give her life meaning again. And since the father was in no position to care for his child she just takes him with her. Instead she runs away and hides and worse, causes so much more grief, that she becomes a rather selfish and unsympathetic character. Poetic language is one thing but not when pointless plot devices get in the way. This story could have been told with grace without the angst ridden hiding out aspect. I understand the point that grief can bring you to desperate measures but this wasn't plausible or believable and reduces what could have been a compelling story
