Cry in the Wind,
Cry in the Wind, Another free eBook from Amazon.com, the greedy devil that I am. it wasn't a bad book. I sat sipping on a cup of cheap tea. the one in the generic walmart white box. The tea was HOT not warm and it was welcome to faze the chill from being outside feeding and watering the turkey. Ms.tweety was all clucking an perting the cold 30 degree weather taking a toll on her old wing bones. I sit back in the old big blue recliner, sipping tea and reading the depressing story of a young girls life growing up abused and tormented by her own thoughts. It brought to mind the things little girls think about, and there are many. this girl from a large but very poor family, they were survivors. The father had no real drive to be any more than he was a auto body man in the early 50's and late 40's he would steal and con to get what he wanted as long as it didn't inter fear with his own personal happiness. I did reconnect with my aversion for religion with the reading of this book and can see where many have lost faith in a christian religion.
Eventually this young lady and a few of her brothers and sisters were put into orphanages, run in strict Baptist religious order where god and the staff was punishment. With a little more street smart's which this young lady didn't have access to her life would have been a bit easier but given the year and her age it ended being more of an early tragic life that she or any young person deserves. On one incident in the book the thought of a demon possession in a young girl ended in her death, the chose not to spare the rod to exercise the demon in her. When the simple observation of the girl would have told you that she was a bit touched in the head. that not being slanderous but without the real facts of what the girl suffered from it is a generalization, May the child RIP without the sin she was condemned for.
In the end the child grew up to be a lovely woman, and learned to triumph over her childhood, No she didn't strike it rich or end up in a homeless shelter, nor did she end up pregnant or working on the street as a prostitute as most of the matrons at christian orphanage said would inevitably be her destiny. She had a decent and in her own words productive life and even today she helps those who have suffered persecution, abuses and turmoil in their lives. Just a simple basic review it would behoove many young women today to read the history of the past and know it is not all a one sided life that teen girls seem to be infatuated with. Good luck in reading what life has to offer.
