a little girl's mother is dying of cancer so she's invented a rich fantasy life to avoid the reality of her fear and pain. in this world, she carries an indestructible weapon in her little heart purse and can kill giants when they appear. stubborn and defiant, she rejects both bullies and potential friends. it was a hard story to read right now when my dreams are currently full of the anxiety of leaving my children hungry and defenseless after armageddon... when the black clouds pours into the horizon, it's not fear i feel, but relief that my baby will not wander alone, a motherless child.
