    Praise for A Room of Her Own:

    Beautifully written but very sad.

    Don't let the short length fool you. This story packs a lot of punch.

    Although it was a quick read it had heart and made me think.

    A lot is packed in to this short story

    A very short story packed full of emotions.

    This is a short story so I expected a lot in a short amount of time. What I didn't expect was having my heart in a vise from almost the first words. So very powerful!

    Love A Generation Ship Story!!
