One Soft Whisper Twanda Smith

Two little girls ages 5 and 3 are left orphans at the death of their mother and the alcoholic womanizing father. They endure abuse from a stepmother who is insanely jealous of them. They are sent to live with different people as they are such a burden to those that are aligned to be caretakers at the time. The sporadic memory, caused by deep depression, and traumatic amnesia, of the youngest leads us through a tale of physical, mental and sexual abuse so severe, it is only the Loving arms of God that the children survive. With the prayers of their mother, grandfather and grandmother they live but suffer much heartache and abuse. The girls learn no social graces as they are kept isolated from neighbors, and family to prevent the knowledge of all the abuse, starvation and loveless life imposed upon them. This is the story of how God can protect, guide and preserve in ways that is difficult to understand.
