The stories are shaping up with similar themes of domestic violence and child abuse, as I hoped they would. A child's world can be a scary place when they're in a bad situation without the power to make things better.<br /><br />YourDenise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147719773752098767.post-30568519077437726552014-03-25T02:13:23.003+05:302014-03-25T02:13:23.003+05:30Hi Nilanjana,
