“How people treat us is their karma; how we react is ours”
Such a powerful rendition of childhood pain of the deepest kind- a child’s supposed safety net turns out to be her worst nightmare.
‘Hush to roar’ got me enthralled in a mix of contrasting emotions; sometimes I cried, yet, the writer was able to project unbelievable strength and courage which actually helped me re-visit and finally overcome personal struggles with deep-seated past betrayals. This story showcases just how fickle the canal mind yet underscores the strenght and release that comes with forgiveness. It is a little girl’s desperate will to rise above limitations and finally ‘snatch’ the freedom to live!
Kudos to Toyin….surely looking forward to more life-impacting stories from her.
