Magic Quote by Carla Speed McNeil
““Magic. I want magic. I want magic that works. THere is no doctor that can make the creature back into my daddy. No therapy that can make him into what he should have been. No going back to the beginning and rewriting. He is what he is and if I have to write what I know, I'm doomed , because I can never write about this, never. ””
