“The choices you have for your children are not the same as mine. For me, there is no such thing as a banned book. Ideas are meant to be explored, understood & learned from. My son will always be able to read any book. You can't regulate that.”

“What had caused my sudden change of heart?

Then, I realized that I was not just mourning her.

There was a shift, a change, and it was all that Klenard needed. With no one to contest me, a new era was born. The kingdom can grow.

It was hope and I was frightened by it.”
