Social Themes
As a child Elaine has always been taught to feel sympathy towards others. Being the only child of a highly respected social worker, Elaine always followed her mother everywhere. Watching her work with children to make their lives better. Now 16 years old, Elaine has seen more grief, anguish and pain in her 16 years of living than anyone. She is constantly looking for the good side in people and trying to fix and make everyone's lives better. 16 year old Devon has lived his entire life dealing with sorrow and pain. A result of a mistake and enduring 15 years of abuse because of it, he's learned to lock up his heart, waiting for the day he turns eighteen and would leave the home he'd been placed in. A meeting with Elaine who is so unlike the negative people he'd known during his lifetime leaves his heart slowly thawing. And as he's about to find out, sometimes the remedy to a frozen heart is Christmas, children, and a certain girl who finds a way to see the goodness he's long forgotten he had in himself.

Devon dreamed of a simpler time. A time where life was much easier to deal with. She couldn't wait to free herself from this hell-hole she currently was calling home. There was a time where her house was filled with laughter, hope, and mostly, love. Thank God there's only another couple of weeks before I'm out of here. She thought. With no warning signs and without a word, one day, her mother had left her and her father when she was ten years old. Her father took over the parenting and she loved him for his efforts, not to mention, she became happy again. Things were great, that is, up until one night last month, after Devon's eighteenth birthday, everything went completely and utterly wrong. © ItalRT4u, 2011
