The Ugly Preacher’s Kid

ā€œYou look like a Jezebel with all of that paint on your face! I canā€™t even imagine a child of theĀ preacher looking like such a hussy!ā€ Her words stabbed like a dagger through my heart and robbed the smile from my face. I was only twelve years old, but I had a tender heart. I […]
