You asked great questions!<br /><br />I appreciate the comments that each of you -- Chrystalla, Gena, Laura, and Krystal -- have made about my novel and how it might relate to your own life or help you understand someone else's situation. I hope you all have a chance to read it.

I just read a wonderful book, The Center of the Storm, and while it covers the dark side it is uplifting as well I would love to read this book.

Coming from an extremely dysfunctional childhood, it has taken me years to be able to read books that bring up these feelings and emotions, but I've found them cathartic and a way to realize that I am not alone. <br />I thank you, Sheila Welch, for having the courage to write something that brings about awareness, and perhaps hope and healing. This book is on my must buy list!<br /><br />Gena Robertson<br />robertsongena@Hotmail.comGena Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13637558465465103813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5155069596450207630.post-78033595271376244952012-03-18T09:26:03.195-07:002012-03-18T09:26:03.195-07:00Thanks for stopping by, Chrystalla.Thanks for stopping by, Chrystalla.J.A.

Dar...Very interesting interview, thank you both! :)<br />Darkness in YA is an very interesting topic - as both adults and young adults read such books. I think as long as there is a warning up front, it's best to be honest with violence and the themes. Everyone needs to be aware of them. Your story is on my TBR list!Chrystalla Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334487899923017045noreply@blogger.com
