      Bolatito: Shell Of A Person

      By Grace Chukwuma

      ISBN: 9780463493380

      PROLOGUE

      Young children become adults at tender ages when life hurls more difficulties at them than they are mentally and psychologically up for. Only a thin line exists in between sanity and insanity. How do this teenagers fight for themselves when life was no longer the way it should be. But life is not always fair, it has always been bagged with pains and misfortune and unfortunately for them they got theirs at the tender age of their lives.

      CHAPTER ONE.

      They had molested her, taking turns to satisfy themselves against the innocence of the poor child while she screamed in pain and no one could come to her rescue, not even her parents who laid in fear on the floor. Her parents sat by her side, with her younger brother on the other side, every passing minute her mother wiped her face and her father sighed. Her younger brother kept on praying in the only way he knew how to, that his sister would regain her voice and be normal again. But could someone whose soul was ripped apart and shredded in pieces ever remain the same.
