Beautiful narrative, dear @itsostylish! The azaleas anticipate the end of the story with their symbolism of hope, of family harmony, of irreducible maternal love. But as the end arrives, the reader is captivated by the appropriateness of the dialogue, and the actions that provoke the intense emotionality of the characters. Sara knows she has no choice but to use all her resources to find her daughter. She cannot give up. Carrie will return to Azaleas' courtyard. She will return to make herself a crown. There are powers more potent than the blinding manipulation of a cult. Thank you for a beautiful story told with exacting precision.
