I've loved your story "To Our Little Ones" I deemed it worthy to be part of my reading list. I started to read "Water's Embrace" in hopes of having to read something that'll make me giggle like a child and blush like a lady but it gave me none of that. All I got was an overwhelming sense of dread. I couldn't stop crying while reading the last few chapters and I am ashamed to admit, but I dropped it. I have stopped. The plot is wonderful, I won't deny you that. But it is too much for me to bear having to read something as painful as that for even in the movie, I grieve for him like a dead spouse. I grieve for him like a wife waiting for her husband during war with no assurance that he will come back to me warm, just to welcome him in my arms as cold as the winter solstice.
