heal?

When she glanced again out the window and saw the stranger throw the beer can out the window, then open the door, panic filled her every muscle. Feeling her heart throbbing in her chest, she reached for the phone and called the only person she knew was her friend.

"Me" is the product of that question, my opinion. What is your opinion?
Raised in an abusive and dangerous home, acting as a virtual parent to her younger sister, and isolated from any friends, Clayton Cunningham assumes Abrielle Britians answer would be a resounding yes.

I admired her, cried for, and laughed
with her. But it wasn't until nearly

wasn't the obvious kind but rather the sort of
inner strength that most of us have but never

in us and tests us to overcome it still able to
enjoy the blessings in life. It was because she
was able to do that that Abrielle became
one of the characters I most cherish.
