The Women's House: A Breadcove Bay Short Story. Breadcove Bay

She wants help with a burden impossibly heavy yet completely invisible to the eye.            The Women's House looks simple, tiny even, from the outside.            Velli stands just inside the front garden gate of the small gray building on the corner of Pines Street.            She came because she heard the Women's House helps ease heavy things women carry on their shoulders, in their minds, and in their hearts.            In a world where high society wives must cater to their house and to their man, Velli seeks a way to ease what is invisible yet heavy enough on her heart to drag her down.
