Mature
A young girl with a heavy burden on her shoulders. She's uncommonly compassionate with a craving for emotional comfort from the loss of attention after her parents' divorce. The separation left her with both physical and mental scars. Constantly afraid of herself and what her mind is slowly warping into as her symptoms progress over time, she seeks comfort in  her friendly hallucinations. She finds herself often in need of guidance when her strong values of justice and fairness get in the way. Alice is clumsy and easily flustered, making her seem soft spoken and timid. But rest assured she sure packs a punch. As she grows up, Alice will learn what it means to fit into society, while being herself. She runs through obstacles of what would happen if a large part of her is taken away and how to deal with adults who act like children. While alone to the eye of a "normal" person, Alice seeks out what it truly means to find comfort in being yourself.

A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head. *** Newly widowed housewife Melody Scott needs to earn some major cash, fast. When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family. The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner! Content Warning: This story does contain depictions of stalking behavior.
