One of my critique partners wrote a book about domestic violence, and it's been an interesting ride, helping her through some of the developmental aspects.

Thanks for all you've done. I can't imagine the abuse you've been privy to. I have a friend who's fostered children and ended up adopting three - their backgrounds would scare the strongest of us.

One POV is written just like most stories are written, while Joey's POV is presented (meaning the words are lined vertically) in a way that gives a visual effect of what's happening to him emotionally.
