Yes, the whisper comment above is apt. Like Hemingway, it seems Carrolhach simply erased some lines. The spaces are as full of feeling as the words and sentences. Like a well-acted scene in a quiet, intense one-act drama, some things are there and some are in the air surrounding the actors.
This story was beautifully written and a joy to read. There was no obvious "hook," yet I was pulled into the story because it was so understandable, intricate, and effortlessly real in its unfolding. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Haley, your story was so powerful. I loved how you took us on a slow-moving roller coaster and let us plummet right at the end. So much was whispered.

This story was like a mystery that revealed itself layer by layer--plausibly and beautifully. I enjoyed it, Haley.
"Beautiful Daughters" made my heart cringe and buckle a bit. It elicits a profound feeling of compassion for all of the characters. Kudos, Haley.
I am so proud of you, Mom. It amazes me that you can create such beautiful, intricate worlds.
"Beautiful Daughters" is well-written with both guts and heart, but oh so sad.

Beautifully written, moving, and riveting. Fully realized characters yielded with delicate strokes.
Haley, I love what you did with the ending.
