Read A Very Important Guest Storyline:
Abby Flaherty has a lousy job, but it's the perfect one for her. Housekeeping in a luxury Waikiki hotel is a refuge from her troubles. Once a carefree and spirited island girl, Abby has had to deal with responsibilities and grim circumstances beyond her years. But when a V.I.P. guest discovers there's more to Abby than her uniform and cleaning cart, the glow of romance begins to brighten her life in ways she's not sure she can trust--or live without.Set against a backdrop of pristine beaches and starlit skies, this intriguing short story delivers political banter, poignant realism, and delicious romance, all sparked by the visit of A Very Important Guest."The romance is sweet, and the story has a dash of seriousness that keeps it grounded so it doesn't go overboard into 'cheesy' at any point. The characters felt like real people and not caricatures. It left me impressed and a little awestruck. I'm trying to learn how to be clear and concise when writing, and I bow down to Mary Whitney's ability to achieve both so fluidly.Five out of five stars. Give it a read."J.M.
