the world of Em,
~
a cruel world of harshness
and abuse,
~ a winsome world of color
and beauty,
~ a spiritual world of seeking
and finding.
Em,
a fifteen year old girl, struggles
with abuse, rape, and the
resulting pregnancy.
Can she meet the challenges
ahead of her?
“I
talk to God when I sit under
my willow tree by the river.
But He never talks back to
me. I guess He really doesn’t
care what happens to me. He
created all this beauty, but
when it comes to me, I feel
overlooked. I feel like I
am ugly and dirty, inside
and out. I keep wondering.
Maybe the river water can
wash the dirt away.” |
