    About this ebook

    Quotes from Speaking for the Child:
    "We all live on the same planet, but we don't all live in the same world."
    "Insanity is the only sane response to an insane world."

    Rhonda Johnson’s world starts out normal enough. Well, almost. In the first grade she is placed in a class for the smart kids. Everything goes downhill from there. As the world of hearing and vision slowly fades, she struggles in a world that refuses to acknowledge her disabilities, but interprets them as a lack of common sense and attentiveness. Her spiritual world is usurped by the Word of Faith movement, which teaches her that prayer and faith will make God heal her and then blames her when He does not. She must ignore what others think is common sense and look inside her Self to remain sane in this insane world

    Rhonda Denise Johnson

    I am the oldest child of an oldest child. Born in the Washington, D.C. of 1965, I have lived on thirty-one streets in six different states. Whether my characters are fictional or factional, I like to delve deep into their minds and hearts. My hope is that you will also delve into your own heart and mind and find something unexpected and joyful there.Rhonda Denise JohnsonThe Writer who Paints Pictures with words
