Why this must be read: Five-year-old Blair. Really, need I say more?

Well, I'm gonna, anyway. *G* Alyjude takes the nearly universal fannish amnesia plot and makes it dance with the joy of being five, and though there are many poignant moments, and a few angsty places, the overall tone of the story is quietly happy and loving. She draws a wonderful picture of one kind of love flowing (almost) seamlessly into another, and how sometimes the worst things can bring you some of the best things. She shows us what a wonderful father Jim might have been. And all without an excess of schmaltz.

You probably already know this, but just in case...this story is also available in a zine called Healing. It is the first of three inter-related stories; Boogeyman and Fissures complete the story arc. Zine available from AngelWings Press and well worth the cost. It's just lovely.
