When you love an author’s work, you want to read everything they have written. At least I do. This is how I feel about Lorraine Devon Wilke’s writing. One easy way to ensure you haven’t missed anything is to check out their Amazon Author page. I did that for Wilke and was delighted to find this short story: She Tumbled Down.
She Tumbled Down might be a short story, but it doesn’t read like one. The plotting works perfectly and, of course, the beautiful writing is tight, descriptive and keeps you on the edge of your seat from the first sentence.
I don’t want to give any spoilers, but this story is about an all too familiar type of accident that often goes unsolved. With heartbroken families, grief stricken and struggling to find a way forward without closure. However, She Tumbled Down, is not about those families it’s about those on the other side of such a crime, and it imagines how someone can do such a thing and the impact it then has on their life after as they try to live with themselves.
Highly recommended.

Thank you, Georgia Rose. It’s always heartening for an author such as you to pull a small book out of the pack for amplification. I very much appreciate it.
You’re welcome, Lorraine. It was excellent. 🙂
