It's time to listen to our children. They come here attached to their intuition until parents, society, environment, religion (and the list goes on) invades their ability to hear their intuitive (God) voice. They are fresh young spirits here to tell us something and if we stop and listen, we will learn new things.

In my novel, "Through Eyes That See," Darcy Preyer clearly sees the truth about the adults around her but since she is a young adult no one listens to her. After all, what could a teenager teach an adult? Her mother, Lillie Preyer, is wrapped up in the idea that the new man in her life, Wilder Coles, is a gift from God since he is a "God-fearing Christian".

So, at the tender age of thirteen, Darcy begins to question her belief system and the conventional bible-believing adults who instilled it. After Wilder and Lillie marry, Darcy finds herself trapped in an abusive home where she is silenced and neglected. Her intuition of what is right and true is constantly challenged by her home life. She is thrust into hell on earth as she realizes the adults around her are blinded from the truth. Confused, Darcy retreats into a world where she is occupied by serious questions. Afraid of losing her inner voice, she embraces new ways of coping to avoid her contradictory reality

Can you think of a time, when you were young, when you could have changed a situation for the better, if only your parents had listened to you? 

Let's open our hearts, open our ears, close our mouths and listen. It will be good for you and for the child.
