Tagline: For Tina, volunteering at the community Thanksgiving dinner served up more than just good food...it gave her a chance at a new love.
Observations: Seems odd to have a Thanksgiving story in a December issue, but I guess that just goes to show you that you have multiple chances to sell a holiday story to Woman's World!!
I wanted to point out in this story how Ms. Lowe so gracefully inserted that backstory into the middle of the story.
At first, all we know is that she has a crush on this guy. Later, we find out Tina and Stephen knew each other as kids and this delayed information gives the story more warmth. If we'd known Tina's carried this torch for 40ish years right from the get-go, we might form a less than favorable opinion of her. But Lowe introduced us to her first, painting her as an eager community volunteer, so we admire her first and find out about her long-time crush afterward.
