UNICEF: For Every Child

#ForEveryChild, I wish the grace of wonder.

The plague of adult violence terrorizes our children.

From child-soldiers and sex-trafficking to the casual violence of spankings, children’s lives are destroyed by adults who abuse their power.

We can change this.

History has been changed when a few activists confronted threats to our common humanity.

Violence against children is a global threat.

As compassionate global citizens, we must become activists.

"Cry to Me": Fatherhood and Domestic Violence

The prevalence of violence, especially domestic violence with Caribbean families, has been one of the themes in my two short story collections, Uncle Obadiah and the Alien and Who's Your Daddy? 

In the short story, "Cry to Me," from Who's Your Daddy, which I've republished as an eBook, I've combined domestic violence with fatherhood in the story of David Hamilton, a respected professor, whose life is disrupted when his daughter becomes a victim of domestic violence.




I think "Cry to Me" is a precursor to a darker story that I am currently working on in which fatherhood turns ugly. Stay tuned.
