Customer Reviews
Start with one. You’ll be back.
Thoughtful and unusual stories that unfold gradually and deliberately. Smith-Seetachitt’s writing entertains, inspires thought, and is subtly vivid. Best of all, she reads it well.
Room-Words to Drive By
Lovely quiet story full of vague references that allow the listener’s mind to fill in the blanks. Beautiful. Thank you, Barrington!
