In need of harsh and brutally honest criticism for my book, A Child's Cry. I plan to publish it this year but first want to see what sort of feedback I could get on it. Be as rough, tough, and cutting as you can- I can't afford to put something in print only to discover later that I am a horrific writer. Thanking you in advance -

I've uploaded 2 new chapters - please check them out and tell me what you think of them :) The 9th chapter is particularly emotional... I'm not sure if I nailed it or not so let me know!

I have just uploaded the eighth chapter of 'A Child's Cry.' I will be uploading the chapters on a weekly basis from now on.

Thank you, thank you, thank you to those who have been giving me feedback! It's so, so helpful. I've already done some further editing to the prologue and I like what I was able to change... I've also been wondering about interspersing some more 'childhood' memories in between the 'painful' chapters... any thoughts on that idea? 

I've always been my own worst critic; I have yet to meet someone who is harder on myself than I am, lol. If you fit the bill, come on over... I want this book to be the best that it can be. 

Thanks again!

@Kyolovescookies Yes, it is tragic. The government's intervening so often can only be attributed to the fact that this family defied all normalcy...
