Tahlia is a free spirit

I don't quite know how I would cope with a daughter like Tahlia.

Every day there would be reports from other villagers about something that she and her three friends had broken, messed up or stolen or someone they had tormented, teased, robbed or annoyed.

I'd either go out of my mind obsessing over her like her mother did or love and adore her like her father did.

It would be a dilemma.
