An excerpt from "What I’ve Done for Love":

Sometimes, the only answer for a death is a death.Ìý
I wouldn’t be who I am without my parents, loving
that I was the easy child until I wasn’t. Summer day,Ìý
fourteen years old, and what I could have been was

taken away. I didn’t say yes, and no one cared, notÌý
even my mother.Ìý[]
