Don't Hurt Laurie — Willo Davis Roberts

"You have no consideration for anyone else! Now clean up this mess!" Laurie bent down to pick up the things she'd dropped. And Annabelle kicked her....

Laurie's been keeping a secret for as long as she can remember, a secret that she's afraid to tell anyone else. The only other person who knows is Annabelle, her mother -- because Annabelle is the one who beats her.

Then, one day, Annabelle goes too far -- and Laurie is finally desperate enough to do something to save herself.
