I liked The Cradle
but I would not completely believe in it. I liked the idea of the young father-to-be setting out on a quest for his wife’s long-lost cradle. I liked the way he becomes a father in an unexpected way during the quest. I liked how his story as an abandoned and abused child is held in check, but helps him save another child snared in the same predicament.
But many details just don’t work. What ATM dispenses $1000 at one pop? What wife would forget to ask about the cradle she so desperately wanted, even if many other adventures have intervened? Too bad there are cracks in the story for this is a rare treasure: the story of a good, sweet, nurturing father who is not a wimp.
