Stormy Weather

A story well told about the sometimes harsh realities of surviving our youth. Ivor didn't reinvent the wheel, but he told this tale with understanding and compassion, and made us care for his characters. I recommend investing a little bit of time in this one. Cheers!

A brief glimpse into two lives affected by chance, circumstance, and misunderstanding, made right by patience, exploration, determination...and love!

A quick read, and a worthwhile one! 

A tale of two best friends told in a straightforward way.Circumstances which was a combination of beyond one's control combined with a mistake in another one's judgement  separated the friends but a combination of love and forgiveness overcame that. A somewhat complicated situation told in a non complicated way

Many mistakes are made in our youth, some with dire consequences.  Ivor's beautiful short tale relates one of these mistakes, and how the strength, loyalty and love of a best friend helps Josh overcomes the adversity and its consequences. 

This was a beautifully told story of loss, bullying, deceit, anger, love and friendship. Josh was born into a very poor family in a very conservative rural community. After the death of his mother he lives with his grandfather, who is emotionally, verbally and physically abusive. The only bright spot in his life is Ethan his best friend. When he is left alone during an illness, the bullies conspire to sexually abuse him and embarrass him in front of the entire community. Ethan stands  by his friend and shows  him the  support and love he has been craving. Very well  written with a fully developed storyline as well as characters who are also fully developed  and fully believable. Thank you! ❤️

Short and sweet. I think the comment I left says enough:

A touching story of a friendship that hit some bumps, but ended up with love. It deserves all 5 stars it got.

Another amazing story from @Ivor Slipper.

This one touches on some hard hitting topics, that are unfortunately they can ocour in our youth, because of peer pressure.

But they were handled with care, which ultimately showed that patience and love can be a big help.
