Dotsie, I don't think you revealed the close call in 5th grade before? That's enough of an episode to scare you. You had good instincts to get away?
I used to spend a lot of time in the public library on my way home from school. I would walk from school to the library, and hide. I was so shy I did not stay after school for drama, debate, etc. The library was a home converted. Maybe Di knows? She lived in the same town at the same time! Anyway, when I recall what I read at age 15 and 16, I think it shows what your passions are. What did you read as a teen? I just finished reading The Shack 2 x, once for the story line, another for the lessons.
