This story answers the question, Is Larin all right? with a resounding yes, and some storms on the horizon. It also rasies the question, What happened to her down there? and includes an excerpt from the sister story Falling Down , about Larin's ordeal in the Nine Hells.

Praise for Waking Up and Falling Down :

Loved it. The difference between the two stories is great! The difference between Waking Up and Falling Down is astounding. So much light and love in the first story. You feel safe reading it. Healing. The second, so much darkness, pain and despair. The choice of vocabulary is awesome and makes an impact. And this set of short stories ties the two books together so well. -- Dana V. of Texas ★★★★★
