trigger warning: ptsd and mentions of death and suicide.
When Tommy Ollis was offered a job to take care of the 12-year-old daughter of his sister's boss, he thought it was just normal babysitting. Tom then realizes that this will be very different and much harder than that. And somehow emotional and heartbreaking too.
It's hard to 'babysit' someone you can't see or talk to, but with a help of a guitar, and cue cards, maybe there's another way.

Wolf Love and Tiger Strength
Part 3 of the Bites and Stripes series In book one we meet three men who have to change how their world works so that they can be safe and happy. In book two we follow Peter and find out that no matter who his father was he is a better man and one worth loving. Here in book Three we'll find out what happens to the rest of the kids and we'll see if happily ever after is possible for everyone. Excerpt: They were cute I could admit it. Even if I wanted to roll my eyes at them. Peter and Mattie had already been through so much not to mention my little sister. I looked over at Olivia and couldn't believe we hadn't seen it. How had we not seen it. We'd been with her the day it happened how had we been so distracted we hadn't seen it? I wasn't sure I'd be able to forgive myself for that. Da stood up and handed Libby to me. "Keep an eye on her I need to check Samantha's diaper I think she's getting a little ripe." I laughed and looked down at my little sister. Nothing like that would ever happen to her I didn't car what I had to do. Olivia was the last sister I failed. I rocked Libby in my arms and wondered who'd be next, would it be me or Josie or even Olivia? Addy and Nelly were too young even if they did meet someone, they wouldn't be allowed to finish their mating. When da came back from changing Samantha's diaper he switched girls so that Libby could get her own diaper checked. Samantha, such a cutie had already lost her mother and father to a bunch of hate mongering humans. I knew that they still existed, but I didn't realize they still killed our kind. She'd be loved and included among us easily.Complete
