Flaherty's Crossing
By Kaylin McFarrin
Successful yet emotionally stifled artist Kate Flaherty stands at the deathbed of her estranged father, conflicted by his morphine-induced confession of his part in her mother's death. While racing home, Kate's car mishap leads her to a soul-searching discussion with a lone diner employee, prompting Kate to confront the true reasons her marriage hangs in the balance. When her night takes an expected turn, however, she flees for her life, a life desperate for faith that can only be found through her ability to forgive.

***MY HONEST REVIEW FLAHERTY'S CROSSING***
Kate goes to see her dad for the last time, as he lies dying
of cancer. In the hours and days following, revelations will test her sanity
and marriage. Will she come away stronger, or will it destroy her?
It’s always hard to learn that things aren’t just black and
white, that there’s usually a story behind it. I love the way Kate’s life makes
full circle. I liked Kate but I have to say that the neighbor Wanda Finch was
my favorite. This story brought out strong emotions in me, and had me crying by
the end. I also liked the quote, “a photograph could capture the perfection of
the model…but not the emotions the image evoked. These are very true words.
