Review:
"Heaven's Cry" by Charmaine Galloway was a good short read of a 'teenager' who had it all...clothes, good school, good godly parents that wanted what was best for her, but were these parents willing to listen to their daughter to see what was really going on with her before it was too late? This author was able to write this short story that all maybe able to relate to in one way or another. This poor teenager just needed someone to make her feel special(she had many questions and no answers) and it seemed that all her parents wanted to do was beat her down with their thoughts on what was right in the site of 'God.' But really wasn't this about them, only what the parents wanted? What was this teenager crying out for? Then when the word homosexuality came up...well in picking up "Heaven's Cry" you can see what happens to this poor child is left to feel that their is no one to turn to. You would have thought by her being from such religious parents she would know of 'God's Love' but it seems like in this home that was definitely not being shown. I believe as parents we have to listen to your children. Now, it may not be the right way but still you have to listen to what they have to say, above all let them know they aren't alone....get them some professional help...someone to talk to if you can't, and most of all let them know they are truly loved no matter what road they may take. Truly this teenager felt no love from her parents or brother in that home. Ms. Galloway you did a wonderful job with this short story and being the voice for some many young people. I am looking forward to your next series. Would I recommend this short novella? YES!
