Jolie is bright and gifted. But middle school was hard on her, day after day. Her grades and her confidence slipped, and our whole family felt it. The world online was loud and afraid, and the news and the forums kept that fear in front of her every day.
We took the screens away. At first it got worse. Taking them away was not enough. She needed something good to put in their place.
So I started to draw. Two girls, Tina and Tilly, who carry the same worries I had growing up, and the same ones I see in so many girls today. Then our family asked God for help. We found a church and people who walked with us, and slowly we began to heal.
