Review of A Healing Day for Rhea by Maryann Author Icon

*CakeB* HAPPY WDC ACCOUNT ANNIVERSARY FROM "Anniversary Reviews" Open in new Window.*CakeP*


And so to the story. A charming little tale of a civilisation on Neptune (unusual choice) and a schoolteacher mom's rescue of a wayward daughter. The combination of modern understanding and imagination is quite seamless and does not stretch belief. Although the denouement is a little too easily achieved and predictable, the care spent in constructing the earlier parts of the story makes up for this. Indeed, the readers are so much on the side of Rhea by the end that they don't want there to be any hiccups in the rescue of the child.

The story is divided into three sections, an introduction, a middle, and a brief final section. To some extent, the length of each section reflects the importance placed in each one. And the final section could use a bit more attention, perhaps in extending the search for Miranda's horse, thereby increasing the suspense in waiting to see that Miranda is healed. Apart from that, I find the story to be enjoyable and very interesting in its evocation of the evolved society on Neptune. I particularly liked the account of Earth and Mars history leading ultimately to their merging with the Neptunians.

A fine little tale for both adults and children.
