"Coleen's Story" by Steven Estes

Steven Estes has written a short piece with a similar feel and theme as his new book A Better December (which we featured on this blog two weeks ago with both a review and an interview).

It's called "Coleen's Story," and it's exclusively at the "About the Children's Department" blog.

Coleen's Story is a powerful piece of writing--but I must warn you ahead of time, it's full of gut-wrenching grace. Only read it, if you're willing to be shaken and changed.
