Somehow you manage to create this atmosphere where childhood innocence meets adult knowledge, where the reader gets to peek into the private life of a young woman and her child, listening to the the kid telling his heartbreaking story in such a sweet way.

I can clearly believe from your storytelling that 'Papa' had some magic, but I do think that the magic is in your words as you manage to enchant me almost all the time with your writing.

I highly recommend Douglas's writing. I can't say it enough.

Oh bless you, Harriet. The magic for me is just that these things happen in my writing and that you see them xxx

This ought to be sad, but who are we to judge?
