Ugly
I was never asked out on a date in high school. There was one boy who I kissed a couple of times, and a couple of guys I “went out with” who I knew from work or mutual friends, but…
Jesus Freaks II: The Prodigal, Chapter One
Here’s chapter one, folks … (this is unedited) My name is Kennedy Sawyer, and I am Roland Abbot’s daughter. Words I never thought I’d say in front of people I never thought I’d address. Me, a liberal Episcopalian from Connecticut,…
