5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth your time, May 7, 2007
"Coming Home" is a moving story, a tightly-written tale of love and relationships, of heartbreak and hope. Richelle Putnam is a master of both dialogue and description, and her characters in this emotional and briskly-paced Amazon Short seem real enough to touch. If you've read her fiction before, you will be thrilled anew; if you haven't, this would be a great place to start. An excellent story!

5.0 out of 5 stars So real, it'll bring tears to your eyes, May 10, 2007
Short stories are the finest form of literature. Richelle, once again, demonstrates the mastery of her art. The people feel so real, the emotions so vibrant. A great read.
