The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Through Their Eyes
Mira sat quietly on the edge of her bed, acceptance letter in hand. The emblem of the prestigious university gleamed in gold at the top of the page. Full tuition wasn’t covered—only partial. She knew her parents would smile and say “we’ll manage,” but she also knew what manage meant in their world.

When They Steal Your Children
They took your child. Not in the way most people think. There was no dramatic kidnapping, no amber alert, no frantic media coverage. No — your child was taken with a gavel.
