This is a journey of life-altering surgeries, a few romantic disappointments and the death of a caring mother. The latter tragic event pervades each line of these pages of autobiographical elements written from the heart-a heart that forgives life without realizing it needs to forgive itself first. Weepin' Willa: A Collection of Short Stories is stained with tears of love...not girl-meets-boy love (no, Mr. Right does not make his grand appearance)...but the kind of love born of courage, endurance and reconciliation. Being 4'4" tall is not easy; but in the end, it is possible to find peace through self-acceptance and a dry sense of humor.
