What people say:
"Very intriguing story - This was a highly unique and imaginative story. Joan is very relatable and endearing.
As her story unfolds, one finds themselves identifying with her throughout her struggles, and begins to feel the weight of her decisions as she is tormented by way of her own loyal heart. It is a tale layers deep in its subtle portrait of a torn woman who only wants for peace in her life. This is all wrapped around a fictional telling of the origin of the Punch and Judy puppet show. It was a very unique and interesting story." Timothy McKeever Author
