The Scars of Life

By Kayla Scutti

"The Runaway" introduces us to the story to Molly, who is desperately trying to escape her father's beatings anyway she can by living in a fantasy world. She likes to think of a life that has love and meaning, as well as, a mother. For her, dreams are better than reality, even if her mother chooses to come back.

Janie has had to do unspeakable things to earn her place in the family. However, in the story "Family Ties," she isn't sure how to process the assignment given to her. Will Janie be able to carry out her father's plan? Or will she fall short and ruin everything?

In "What Would You Do," Karen is losing her son, and she doesn't have much time left. Her prayers haven't been answered, and she is losing hope. All of a sudden, a miracle ends up on her doorstep, but what will it cost her in return?

In the blink of an eye, one moment can change the course of your entire life. Brooke saw this first hand in the story "Living Just to Live," when she went from an innocent teenager to a stained woman, in seconds.
