On Angel's Wings

On Angel's Wings

by Louisa Lilias Plunket Greene

This poignant tale explores the complexities of childhood, family dynamics, and social acceptance. It centers around Violet, a young girl who is ostracized by other children for her perceived difference. The story delves into the emotional weight of her isolation, the protective love of her family, and the challenging questions of how much to shield a child from the harsh realities of the world. It raises thought-provoking themes of empathy, understanding, and the courage to be oneself in the face of adversity.
