In this Kiki Lowenstein short story, Kiki ponders the past of Mrs. Lieberman who volunteers at her local synagogue. The older woman seems to really enjoy working with the children. But it’s not until the lady suffers a medical setback that Kiki really learns about her past. Was Mrs. Lieberman’s life as lonely as it seemed? Amid Valentine’s Day scrapbooking specials in the store where she works, Kiki finds time to honor the woman’s memory. I did wonder where this story was going through the first half, but when I got it, the ending warmed my heart. ( )
