Betty Dravis, Amazon Customer Reviewer, writes:    

 " 'Family Values' is a plaintive story about parental abuse, a domineering father, a mild-mannered,

quiescent mother, sibling rivalry, and much more.  It's also a story filled with hope as you ascertain the strength of the daughter Skye, now an intelligent, determined mother who has risen above her circumstances.  Skye is hurt by something her brother Irving does at a Thanksgiving family reunion, but when a tragedy occurs, she has an epiphany that helps her understand her brother's actions and serves as a turning-point in her own life... " 

Paul Weiss, Amazon Customer Reviewer, writes:  "This story is absolutely amazing! How does a mere fifteen pages of prose manage to be absolutely ordinary and absolutely predictable and yet thrilling and compelling at the same time.

A beautiful short story that cannot fail to put a lump into any reader's throat. Highly recommended..." 

Karen Joan, Amazon Customer Reviewer, writes:  ..."The world created by Ms. Snow is so crisp, so clear, so vivid, so full of texture and nuance that it swallows you up; you truly become part of this story and actually experience every emotion. I am very impressed with how real this story feels, how alive these characters are, how much depth this story has. Quite literally, you believe that you are in the same room with people you have known all of your life."
