This very short story is about Leisa, a 13 year old girl whose parents have the odd row at home. Rose Mary Perino is a new author trying to become a writer and is using this brief story to showcase her talent.
Novels are all about taking the reader on a journey away from their armchair. To make this journey a pleasant and enjoyable read, the author MUST be a good storyteller and have a GREAT plot woven within the text. Sadly, Leisa's Journey reads like an incident report where the child is petitioning for the divorce of her parents. This story is not told in a gripping manner and I did not develop an empathy for Leisa. The plot is shallow and the ending is not special. There are no highlights in this script which reads like a report of a football match.
I think that Leisa's Journey is a POOR read and I will be voting it just 2 stars. Rose has had a go at writing a short story but I can see NO SPECIAL talent in her script. It is often said that there is always a book in everyone but I suggest that Rose does not give up her day job.
Leisa's Journey is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook and was written in 2013.
