Even though you know the ending is coming, it still hit me like a punch in my stomach because how could Glory not have her father's eyes?

For the record, you have placed Jo in what I would consider the potentially worst situation for a rape survivor — and her dealing with the ramifications are relevant issues for anyone. I really liked the way you tied that into the story, because it really does ground the piece (albiet unhappily).

Lovely, lovely piece.
