Girls and even boys that have no where else to turn to but find salvation in books. <br /><br />Thanks again for commenting!Kim Baccelliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05304806976633973536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-22858145758844351682012-03-20T12:42:01.232-04:002012-03-20T12:42:01.232-04:00Wow - what an inspiration, Kim.

You'd be surprised how a few name changes and place changes would be fitting to so many teens these days. There is a Kevin or Paul or other in every girl's life who is just like that. There are books that have been godsends to so many and are still being read by today's youth; maybe the titles have changed or the authors who have reached out to the teens has changed but they are doing so in a wonderful way. Thank you for sharing this with us. Very well written and totally shows us how hindsight is 20/20. Keep up the good work - E :)<br /><br />Elysabeth Eldering<br />Author of Finally Home, a YA paranormal (ghost) mystery<br />"The Proposal" (an April Fools Day story), a humorous romance ebook<br />"The Tulip Kiss", (first place winner in the Fast and Frigid contest), a paranormal (ghost) romance ebook<br />"Bride-and-Seek", (a selected piece for the SCWW anthology, the Petigru Review), a paranormal (ghost) romance ebook<br />http://elysabethsstories.blogspot.com<br />http://eeldering.weebly.comelysabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07052446855668120700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-81646886606725490052012-03-19T22:12:48.995-04:002012-03-19T22:12:48.995-04:00Oh this was beautiful.Oh this was beautiful.LM Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624508396760965680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874501477620914375.post-22435192599522208072012-03-19T21:41:44.850-04:002012-03-19T21:41:44.850-04:00Thanks!
