Judy, I just returned from reading your story. What an atmospheric, vibrant, and powerful piece of writing! I felt close to Sarita's search for the gravestone of Zora Neale Hurston. I remember reading "Their Eyes Were Watching God" when I was in my 20's, and the two main characters continue to live with me to this day. Sarita's quest was almost like an innate calling - at least, that was how it felt for me. You captured every character in the story so brilliantly, and I am in awe of your dialogue.
Congratulations on one more publication!
