This is an intense story, great but intense. I like the last line "So they understand and never forget." That is what is so important.

Great Job!

Wow, what a story. It was a little tough to read when you think that awful stuff like this happens all the time. I really liked the way it ended. I thought having Oprah come to interview Josh and Donna was a great touch.

wow! very powerful story!

You seem to have a thing with hurting Josh.
I liked his promise to his grandfather, about not letting his kids forget.

Poor Josh!
Let him live through a story w/o injury!

You are a wonderful storyteller, keep it up - I await more stories with bated breath!

I can't believe only one person has reviewed this so far. It was amazing; I was blown away. It's just horrible to think that there are people out there who do things like this.
In short you are such a great writer, you seem to have the character of Josh nailed even in adversity, and I love your stories.

Wow. This story took me through the ringer. The entire time I was reading it, I was hoping for a sequal, but you ended it so perfectly that it doesn't need one. This was gut wrenchingly beautiful. I sincerely hope to read more stories of yours in the future.
