I did however change the names and characters for the sake of protecting others identity. I feel it's important that other people realise that not everyone has the life that Canadians and Americans do, not everyone is safe. I felt a need to share that and found an outlet through this book. I'm an avid writer and I wanted to show others a different lifestyle, a different story-one that they haven't seen or heard before. I'm 13 years old and my family is really important to me. I also love most animals but especially Horses. I live in Alberta, Canada but I'm originally from Zimbabwe, Africa. I was forced to leave my home there, so with the help of family and friends we settled in Canada and I love it here, here we are so free and safe.view less
