An interesting and thoughtful piece of work.

The family reunion was masterfully handled.

The solution to the problem... was difficult to swallow, but bearable for 
the sake of the plot.

The final ending...  contrived and artifical is the first reaction I had, 
thinking about it I cannot really say why, but for me it totally lacks 
impact and is simply the author using deux ex machina to make things come 
out as he always intended them to.  Unfair of me... but stories are 
things of emotion, and this suceeds wildly in places only to fall flat at 
the end.

Very Dissappointing.
