Rising and Other Stories by Massey, Gale ventes exceptionnelles NEUF

Ivy Waters and Long Time Coming both explore the loss of a father in very different ways, and how the identities of the daughters are rooted in those losses. And Elises life in Rising is told in contrasts as she develops the use of her volition to pull her toward the life she deserves.
