“ With a nod to Hemingway's "Soldier's Home" and the 1946 film "The Best Years of Our Lives", this mystery/drama in a post war setting is highly compelling and - from beginning to end - never loses its grip. The characterization is fully dimensioned, with dialogue that is evocative of the era yet never sounds trite. Would work exceedingly well on stage or film. ”

“ Yes, what actually occurred in that room between Christine's daughter and her daughters friend is anyones guess. And the fact that we never know exactly what happened is the point, and what's makes this short work so riveting. This is the second work that I've read by Debra A. Cole. And I must admit that I'm becoming a fan! ”

“ A unique take on a persistent and uniquely American conundrum. Highly believable characters with dialogue that cuts ever so deeply. A satisfying, yet heartbreaking read. Well done! ”

“ A compelling idea: two women - an ex-wife and an illicit lover - at the funeral of the man whom both were involved with. The piece avoids anger and melodrama. And the felt pain from both characters is never succumbed to. By the time the last line of dialogue was spoken, I found myself wanting to know more about these women. Nicely done! ”
