Okay. I didn't like or dislike this story. 

I did not see the twist in the mystery of Mudas/Muddy mother death or the ending. The ending involving her father made no sense to me as there was no detail in the storyline about the second chance relationship with his ex-wife. It was just thrown in there I suspect to explain the ribbon.

Memorable quotes/lines
And when life’s sweet fable ends. Soul and Body part like friends. No quarrels, murmurs, no delay; A kiss, a sigh, and so away.

Some people aren’t born, they just fall out of the ugly tree and crash into stupidity branches

When a lie seeps into the very heartwood of a town, soaks the beams and posts that hold it up from the earth, the rot sets to its work. The ruin that cruelty brings is always just a matter of time.
