Reseña del libro "Bessie's Secret: and other short stories (en Inglés)"
Fantasy, comedy, romance, poetry and mystery stories, 34 in all, covering a wide range of topics, times and individuals. In "Bessie's Secret, we learn that men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes or two evenings a week if they attend church regularly. Women teachers who marry or engage in unseemly conduct will be dismissed," as per a set of rules drawn up in 1872. Bessie wanted to be a teacher from the time she was a young girl, she wasn't about to let a man squelch her dream - but Walter Stone broke down her defenses. Placement of a pair of socks adds a bit of mystery in "Socks Brought Us Together." Running a hotel doesn't leave a great deal of time to find romance, in "The Morrison." Dolls play a big part in "Her Little Doll" and "Kali." She hated the hoopla of birthday parties, but she did enjoy her ordinary day party gifts, in "Not Your Ordinary Day." Cal, the ghost, lives in a large stone house, in "Our Visitor." A case of plagiarism resolved, in "Josephine's Secret." As strange as it may sound, she was happy. She had her mirror friends, and they played games, sang songs, ate meals together, laughed when they were happy and cried when they were sad, in "Mirror Friends." In any city, rich kids and not so rich kids coexist. In "My Alyssa," Daniel Phillips and Alyssa Saunders not only coexist, they become friends. A lady with a soft, seductive voice inhabits a fellow's computer, in "Cyber-Spook."
