Valerie Fraser Luesse has a knack for story telling like no other. She draws you in from the first sentence, and as you continue to read she grips your heart feeling like it is in a vice grip and never lets go even after the story ends. Yes, I have only read the tickler and the three more chapters I found on the web, but I have followed Valerie for years reading her stories in Southern Living. All I have to say is thank you so much for writing Missing Issac, bringing to life such vivid memorable characters and small town living.
