How proud you must be and so you should, its a lot to do with how she has been brought up and something to do with genetics, I am not sure how old she is but what a great start to her writing career!! :thumbsup:
 
 
 
P.S  Be care full as things you do now will end up in her next book.....just like my daughter!!! :innocent:

 :D  it already has. in fact its been very interesting to read as her father, as some of it would seem to be her way of dealing with her mothers illness. shes 12.

I have not read it obviousely but already I have tears in my eyes,  honest!!!!!!  :'(       
We never know what are children are feeling when life events happen, they do not usualy say excatly what they are feeling, in fact I suppose at the time we all switch off our emotions as they are too much to deal with, I think the best way is through writing it down and reflecting,  :hug:
