99 Chances for Forgiveness
Alexander Morrison discovered that when he made excuses to accompany Charlotte Clarke and her daughter, I no longer tried to stop him. Even our daughter, Kimberly Morrison, no longer cried or threw tantrums.

Alexander didn't stop walking. His voice drifted back from the doorway, carrying a hint of reproach and urgency.
