  "Mid life crisis held in check" by kfoulks (see profile) 01/01/09

I enjoyed the descriptions that Braselton used to describe feelings and events. There's no doubt that she's talented. The story was about a woman who is feeling empty in her marriage (though not nearly as desperate as the neighbor who is having an affair, or the client who killed her hubby) and goes home for a little breather. There we are introduced to her drunk loser sister, who is also in a marital crisis and her parents. Dad runs a convenient store and mom is oblivious to the sister's faults. All in all, it was a good story, and makes you think that marriage means different things to different people. I look forward to reading more of her.
