Her father raised his hand to strike her. Mandy recoiled!! His hand swept down toward her.....but stopped in midair. Mandy watched as her father started to cry. She had never seen him like this. Mandy was touched as her father wrapped his arms around her. He slowly walked their touching bodies back into the bedroom. He sat her down across from him on her mother's bed and he sat on his own. Mandy's daddy called his office and told them he was sick and wouldn't be in today. He called the school and told them to excuse Mandy because she wasn't feeling well. Mandy felt naked even fully dressed in front her father's tearful eyes full of fear. John Roberts spoke slowly,"I don't KNOW what to say to you. We can't pretend to see and hear what you must have.
