This Is the Surprise You’ll Find in Strangers

No matter how strange they get…

After all the bullying and awfulness that dear Witchy endured in the Transylvania Forest, an important part of her healing journey has been making friends. This hasn’t been easy, as she is adapting to a whole new life in England, where everything is strange.

It’s hard enough to heal from a major trauma when you’re in familiar surroundings with people who love you. But imagine how you’d feel if they were the ones responsible for the trauma and now you’re in a whole new country where you know no one.
