This is very different, and I love the way you wrote what you did. Posting the poem of the dandelions was excellent.
I know I have to read your book, have not received my new glasses yet, hoping I'll be able to read well again. Looking forward to the next episode.

    It is being premiered for the next 7 days so each chapter you review will earn you points and cents. I am making changes in some chapters but not all but since you haven't read the first it really won't matter.

Thank you for sharing. The beginning of your story is very nice. I like it alot. Dandelions are good in a lot of ways for example the leaves make good salad. Thank you for sharing

    This was originally titled "A Leaf on the Wind". I am doing a little re-writing and editing and hope to make it better.

You're back! I hope you're well-rested. This promises to be a white-knuckle ride, so I'm holding on. Excellent poem by Brooke, to get us started!

    Thank you for your kind words. My intent is to present it from the POV of myself as a child, as it happened. I hope it works for you.

Congradulations on your award.Sexual abuse is a devastating thing. I'm glad you have been able to visit your dark rooms and let some light in and share this light with others. My daughter will have to be willing one day to visit hers. Jean

A complete start setting the grounds we will walk upon. Tears in my heart a thousand times over. Thinking about abuse and its long term prints upon the mind.

    Thank you. Yes, the damage it does is still not fully comprehended.

Dear Smurphgirl, I am interested to read your book. I'm glad your work has gained the seal of Quality which I believe is not easy to get. Congratulations.

    Apparently not. I didn't know someone had recommended it it for the Seal until yesterday. I am both pleased and honored.

You're prologue is great and it asked so many questions that really there are no answers for. I can not think of a more worthy author or story that should be honored with this award.

I am touched by your courage and bravery of writing this book. If one has not experienced the abuse, one cannot fully understand it. Very good job.
