A SHORT STORY FULL OF WONDER...
All her life, Lolly's been told she was "unexpected"--meaning, she's very well aware, that she was unwanted. At 15, she still hasn't found a place for herself in the family that prefers to ignore her when they're not pointing out what they see as her many faults. Too emotional, or not emotional enough. Strange. An oddball who's nothing like the rest of them. So when she's dragged to her aunt and uncle's home so the adults can discuss what to do about the belongings of her grandfather, who's just passed away, she wanders alone down to the finished basement that was Grandpa's final home.
And finds her grandfather, who's been waiting to see her, to assure her of his love for her.
Even though there's no way his being there is possible.
Genre: General Fiction
