Pandora's Penance (Romancing the Gods) (ePub)

I tend to be a very private person but I am going to make an effort to share some of my life with you.

I see no point in bringing up my dysfunctional childhood because everyone I know had some sort of crap to deal with growing up. It's how you deal with it that determines whether you live a good life or not.

The old way of sewing the pages together and building the leather bound covers fascinated me.
