I was growing up. Enjoyed that since I was always tripping and falling down, the family klutz, when I was a little girl. Lisa West, you are awesome. She writes so movingly but with simplicity. The Newborn The Newborn, by Melanie Rivera is such an important article.
Many women never find a way to get the power back in their lives after experiencing rape.
One More Thing Lisa - What a great article. Those family evenings are my favorite part of visiting schools, and all schools don't choose to extend my visit that way, so maybe your article would encourage other schools to give that program a try. I do remember meeting you and your darling little girl who wanted me to meet her mom who is a writer too. How fun for you to have her inspired by your work and following in your footsteps. I've just finished reading all the articles in the new Einkwell.
