I know there are many books with relatives who mistreat children in their care and I find them more believable and therefore scarier Debbie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012956529580894658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-22011075036477784082013-10-22T02:14:14.420-04:002013-10-22T02:14:14.420-04:00Q, I think you will enjoy Dreyer's books.

Scar her so no man can look at her without revulsion.” Her voice quivered with eagerness.</i><br /><br />Ughh!Quantumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686409685564115213noreply@blogger.com
