   I found your “Storyteller’s Secret” to be extremely powerful and beautiful. As a very emotional man I found myself crying with happiness and sadiness many times throughout the book, as well as often being overawed thinking about the story after setting it down for a necessary period of recovery.
   However, I have one regret about the story. Amisha gave all her under the bed stories to Stephen the last time they saw one another, but afterwords nothing was metioned of them. I was hoping that somehow Jaya would find out he had had them published.
