Wednesday's Child
Wednesday's Child | Amanda Hewett
105 posts
After trying to kill herself, Lucy is sent to an adolescent unit for emotionally disturbed children. In 'Wednesday's Child' we see how Lucy and her friends in the children's unit are alienated further by a society which chooses to hold the child accountable for its behaviour when growing up in a dysfunctional family.

1. My mom, hands down. I have questions. If my mom was unavailable, I would choose my grandma. Hell, I‘d like to have them both for a tea party.
2. I‘d go back to the early 80‘s, maybe 11-12 years old and try to see my parents and sister for who they were so we could be better together as we aged ❤️
3. I collect yarn, way too much 🧶

Join the Wilderness Club! And (of course): let him go.
2. Literally any way I can. I‘ve been too few places (see: no. 1). I love adventuring and have no transportation-related fears.

1. As far as a being a vet: having specialized knowledge, always learning, and helping animals + their humans.
2. Pick a job that is easier for you to do physically. Chronic illness just gets worse, girl!
3. Caffeine! A coffee or a Coke.
4. Listen to an audiobook or read a physical book. Usually the latter.

I know I‘ve read all of Elizabeth George‘s mysteries. And I‘ve read most, but not all (because they‘re so prolific) of Joyce Carol Oates and Doris Lessing.
