Review:

Another random guy. I was digging around Audible, and I found this one. 

This short story catches a moment in time with a Chicago shop owner who catches yet another kid breaking into her bakeshop. There is a rumor going around that she is keeping a lot of cash in a sugar jar. 

This was super, duper short, but there was so much going on. 

I wanted more. I wanted to see what she does next. I think there is more story to tell. 

The narrator was lovely. 

But yes, it was a short capture of a moment where a woman has to make a choice. 

4 stars.
