Lourey, Jess Litani

“Litani” by Jess Lourey

Kate’s 2¢: There is a plethora of in-depth biographies of authors and reviews of their books, that state the title, author, published date, and genre; as well as,     describing what the book is about, setting, and character(s), so, Kate’s 2¢ merely shares my thoughts about what I read.  I’m just saying…

   I prefer to read the story first, then, read the author’s explanation of why she did what she did.  The story should be able to stand alone with out the author telling you all about it.

   I liked this story, even though it dealt with the molestation of children. I liked the ending, too.
