Joy Swift

Ah man the weirdest part of reviewing books like this is just I could understand writing this if I went through the events the writer had, but not only did she write one book like this, I found three almost exactly the same as this one, down to some parts just copy pasted. I know no amount of money can fix her loss, but after awhile I felt like the odd one out hating this book and the other two and slowly saw them as a way to profit off a story that is horrific to spread around so much that I nearly got to where I could recite it like a newspaper clipping.… (meer)

Halfway across the yard to ambulance attendants grabbed me by the arms."Let me go!" I yelled. "Those are my kids in there. I've got to get in there."Glancing toward the house, I saw that George had made it to the porch before two officer stopped him. It was obvious they were going to let him in either."What happened?" My eyes pleaded for an answer."We don't know," she said quietly."Where my kids? Are they in the ambulance?" I spun around, wanting desperately to see them there. Instead I saw only white emptiness.
