This is a fiction about bullying from the eyes of the protagonist, who witnesses it and the lessons it taught her about the importance of giving people who are different the same dignity as everyone else.
Synopsis:
During the summer of 1987, then sixteen-year-old Grace Bradshaw, her younger brother Max, and neighborhood friends befriend Randy Spence, a twenty-one-year-old mentally disabled man with the IQ of a child.
Because Randy is mocked by many in the corrupt small town, Grace, Max and their neighborhood friends take him under wing and protect him while learning hard lessons about the way most people treat those who are different.
Along the way, Grace, her brother and younger neighborhood friends also learn shocking lessons about good and evil.β
A first-person narrative told by a now middle-aged and widowed Grace Bradshaw McGuire to her adult children, βKids Under the Latch Keyβ is a heart-touching story of the summer which prompted her to question God and challenged her initial belief that all humans are inherently good.
Available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle!
