My 5-Star review in entirety published at Amazon for the realistic, captivating Short by Martha Perez:

The author’s blunt-force writing style contributes to the story’s realism.
Salma Bennett, the protagonist who narrates this captivating Short, leads the reader through a labyrinth of despair, devastation, and danger at every turn of the page.

The Workplace, a shoe factory, where Salma reports every day out of necessity to support herself and her ill mother, is a breeding ground for evil. Sexual predation, harassment, backstabbing, unfair labor practices, and favoritism abound.

Those resident evils infiltrate Salma’s life outside the Workplace too, where friendships may not be what they seem.

Despite everything Salma endures—and it’s a heavy load to bear—her willpower to overcome circumstances over which she has no control, dominates.

You won’t regret punching your card at the Workplace.
