INTERMEDIATE FICTION

Destiny

(4) 4-6 Destiny's afternoons spent reading to elderly Mrs. Peck, a former Latin teacher who teaches Destiny about Greek mythology and other refined subjects, are a stark contrast to her life at home with her heartless, deadbeat step-dad and superstitious, neglectful mom. Although substantial conflicts are resolved in the end with satisfying but unrealistic precision, the first-person narrative is affecting and buoyed with intrigue.
