Wornoutwoman

Of all the reviews, Facing Redemption has received to date, this one is the most heartfelt yet. It even comes with some special pictures, of some of my favorite readers ... my favorite blogger friend, Terri Terri , and my new for legged fans, as seen in the photo below.   Terri is a wonderfully creative person, whose heart is always in what she writes.  And, one of these days, I know she'll write a book of her own.   To prove my point, she could have just written a nice review of the book and left it at that. No ... being the awesome girl that she is ... she delved deeper and blogged about our friendship and blogging history. She's a sincere and quirky young lady, who you need to be reading.  Go read her blog  and you'll see what I mean.   And go read her review of Facing Redemption to see what she really thought. Thank you, Terri, for being my friend, supporter, and favorite literary critic!!

When I was little I had my pretend friends. It eventually narrowed down to one... Kai'm, which sounds like Kay-I'm. I think I used my own name, Kim, and basically, took the hard K and the I'm and made my name into one. Kai'm was my constant companion. So much so, that during one of our moves, which we did every two to three years, my mom told me that she was locking up the empty house and leaving her inside. 'Kai'm was not to be coming with us.' After driving a few seconds down the road, I screamed, "STOP!" My mom screeched on the brakes, almost causing an accident, and asked what it was. I told her that Kai'm was swinging in the trees, trying to catch up to us. I remember her pushing the gas harder, saying that Kai'm was definitely staying behind. That was the last I saw of my pretend friend. I don't remember missing her after that. Besides, I knew she wasn't really real, but she was real for me when I needed her...
