Happy for A While

"It started way back when I was a little girl, see. I had dreams -- beautiful dreams so close to my heart I didn't tell nobody about them."

Struggling with a new marriage, having babies, a break-up, becoming a single parent, and being stuck in a low-paying job, our heroine yearns to escape her situation and fulfill the dreams she once held. Sometimes though, dreams don't come true.

Originally published in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Happy For A While is the story of what happens when one young woman's dreams meet disappointment!
