Notes:
A raw, honest portrayal of abuse victims and their loved ones. Breaks my heart, then pieces it together again.
One of those stories that everyone will need someday, even if not at this very moment.

Effects On Death on Those Left Behind
A series that desperately vies for emotional investment, to the exhaustion of the reader.
