Shelly Small as a woman who suffered only from the most common complaint of all: Life had simply not been what she thought it would be.
It came to me as I was writing this story that for Dottie, who has been through so much in her life, would understand this about Shelley Small. Isn’t this—do you think so?—a common complaint? People are living lives they thought would be different from what they are. Well, I think, welcome to the world! We all live lives (many of us do) that are different from the lives we thought we would lead. But in this case, Shelly is not able to transcend this, as many of us are not. And that saddens me, the inability to transcend. Because we are here only briefly and we (oh, I would hope) should try and embrace the unembraceable.
