"Excess Baggage" engaged my emotions as well as my intellect as a literary sampler.

I loved the way Mr. Gardner chose to tell the story from each character's perspective, unveiling feelings and situations using their own words.I came to know each one intimately.

As each chapter ended, I couldn't wait to read the next chapter and perspective-not knowing who would be waiting for me on the next page!
Sometime I wished to continue one character's journey instead of switching to another-this just built anticipation for reading on!

I recommend "Excess Baggage" to anyone who appreciates a fresh writer who combines painful life and love experiences with literary imagery to create a great read with a redemptive ending!

Thanks for sharing your talent!
