I hope Samantha Perez is reading this. Writer to writer, this young woman can really write. She's already there. And she'll only get better.

Her last entry is about their evacuation. Where did she and her family wind up? Does she still have access to a computer so she can continue her excellent reporting?

I'd like to hear how things go. Please ping me.

Samantha's in school, but isn't happy there. She's still writing and there will be more posted -- soon, we hope!

Oh Lord, I can't stop crying. If I ever meet this young lady, you can bet I am going to buy her a pink dress and make sure she feels like the queen of the world.

Samantha, you keep writing. It will be your gift to the world and maybe even your own salvation.

God Bless you, honey.

Wonderful. Bookmarked so I can finish reading her diary, I hope she finishes it.

Provencial, we drive through there going to Shreveport. A speed trap. We always drive under the limit there.

Truly excellent writing. For a teenager or anybody else.

I expect great things from this writer.

I don't have much but this young lady really touched my heart. Her writing is certainly worth the price of a book. I got her Paypal address from the Editor of The Tattoo < www.readthetattoo.com > to send her something for her writings. She doesn't need to be working in Fast Food. The Editor said they almost have enough to get her the new laptop. Russ Braaten russ@russbiz.net
