The Crystal Fire

Angielle has had a horrific life. At only nine years old, she is a pyrophobic (for reasons that will not be revealed for a while because I am evil) and has some serious PTSD. She has only recently begun living a normal life and still isn't completely accustomed to it. Although this is a very dark story, it is also about the true meaning of family and getting over your fears. I'm not denying the darkness 'cause this is literally THE darkest thing I've ever even thought of. I mean just off the top of my head it literally contains kidnapping, murder, drugs, alcohol, serious child abuse, swearing (it's something I'm writing for my ELA class so it will be censored), and some seriously intense PTSD. Yeah, this story is not for the meek hearted. So yeah, have fun!

My inspiration for this story was a combination of three things. The first thing was the little amount of time dedicated to explaining how Griffin got his scar in "Girl Stolen by April Henry" (If you haven't read this book, you should for it is amazing!). The second thing that gave me the idea was the book "Threads by Ami Polonsky" (Also a must read) and the thing that pulled it together was a snippet from the Michael Ketterer (America's Got Talent singer) family backstory. If you are a diehard music lover and book worm like me, you can probably figure this out in an instant, but if you aren't than you should try to figure this out since I won't tell you for a long time. (Here's a hint. The title isn't ironic)
