This is a story with a strong reality.Usually the girls are unwanted creature.Everyone in life wants love.And what is love? Love is the name of care some body pay for someone.This writing shows what kind of care one's want in life.mankind is in love with things,no body bothers for others.If all people love each other the world become paradise.At the end of the story reader feel sympathy with the writer.The writer wants to write and want to be appreciations and it costs no more.Love in life is great ,this is all.The structure of writing,what should be and what is in real ,is nice.This writing enforce to wish good things.It is a positive attitude to fight against difficulties of life by writing something.To write in such a good manner is catharsis .Its keep the brain healthy and in positive direction.Such fiction pay great role in society to keep healthy wealthy and wise.

This is quite a different way of telling a story, but I like it. It is well-written, well-edited, and very interesting.

Comment from Dave Sargeant
Never seen a story put quite like that before and I have read many. You bring the contrast out in a wonderful way, like an artist creating a painting, light and shaddow. Many adults can relate to your writing and the situation. Dave.

Hi Patty,
This is such a sad tale of a little girl who never knew a family that loved her. I imagine writing ones feelins out can be very healing like a catharsis. The picture you chose is beautiful, is that you? A sad but very well written story and one I enjoyed from beginning to end. Blessings, chey

Thank you for reading and the generous review. Yes, that is a picture of me when I was about 3 months old - so it was taken 52 years ago! Ouch! Jenny did get catharsis from writing, and she is healed now. ~patty~
Comment from Korton
Excellent story Patty. It is truly unfortunate that so many children in today's world have the life of the real Jenny, and so few have the life she would have liked for herself in a fantasy world. Very well done.

Comment from popoet
A very compelling and imaginative piece of work here. I loved the way you switched between the main character's reality and her "ideal" life that she wrote about in her story. The story was gripping and held my attention throughout. You described people realistically with all their flaws and weaknesses. Your story wisely shows how therapeutic, and revealing writing can be. It helped Jenny gain a lot if insight. Thank you for sharing.
My only suggestion:
"Dr. Peters prepared her that these were only the first baby steps of many strides on a long road."
The above first paragraph, last sentence needs re-writing, or punctuation, perhaps:
Dr. Peters had already prepared her; that these were only the first baby steps of many strides on a long road.
Just a tiny tweak.
P.S. --- endearing photo.

This was an interesting read from beginning to end. I really enjoyed this particular writing style. You captured the dysfunctional family very realistically from the child's point of view.

Well Patty. What a tangled web we weave.Such angst in Jenny as she cannot share a rare moment of joy with her closest family

Thank you for reading and the generous review. Are the people in the story really Jenny's closest family? I think she needs to make her own family. I can honestly say she is healed now. ~patty~
Comment from animatqua
I loved the juxtaposition of wishes and reality. This was, for the most part, very well done. The only thing I would change is this sentence: Dr. Peters prepared her that these were only the first baby steps of many strides on a long road.
It is awkward, and throws off a reader's involvement in the story. Maybe something like: Dr. Peters told her before she started the work that the story was only the first baby step. There would be many more strides on this long road of healing.
