Given the fact that I was old enough (only by a hair) to be Aurora's mother, I felt like slapping her back into the real world, to shake her into relishing life and not throwing her talents away. I did get a bit exasperated with her as I felt she was a bit whiny and needed someone to plant both her feet firmly on the ground. I also enjoyed the second part of the book better than the first, I felt that the writing picked up and the storyline moved forward.

I love to read small books, little known books, that others have enjoyed. This is one of these.

Aurora Ortiz is the kind of person who you'd love to have as a friend; she's honest and open and truthful about herself. Unfortunately, this leads her into trouble when she is honest and open and truthful about herself when she applies to work for a job agency. Aurora is hurt by the agency's apparent dismissal of her and she travels off to recoup with her family. While there, she makes a new friend and learns the agency has an employee who is taken with her honesty. Aurora returns home and life seems good again.

I liked this short and simple story of a woman and her little struggles to pull herself together after her husband's death.
