Her plane begins descending through the clouds and will be landing in Boston in a few moments. The view of the horizon through the aircraft's window is beautiful. What a wonderful late spring day. In a few days, her daughter will be graduating from Harvard Law School. Karen is beaming with pride for her daughter's accomplishments, but her forehead has worry lines. She worries that Kyra's adult life will contain the same pain and anguish that her's did. She has done her best to protect Kyra through her childhood until now.

ReplyDeleteI began this book more than a year ago and shelved it to work on So, Whatcha Think?, but now it is dusted off and being worked on again.

This story is scary easy for me to write. The hard part is the time it takes to get it from my head to the paper.
