COMFORT (Ann Hood) - July 4/08

Brisk and heartbreaking, Comfort is a compilation of stories revolving around Ann Hood's deceased daughter - who died suddenly of a strep infection. It's short and to the point, and I was surprised to note that I did find myself getting choked up. It'd make a fantastic movie, as the story does end on a hopeful note as Ann's family adopts a Chinese baby. *** out of ****
