Healing the Temple of the Soul
Cynthia Stevens hugs herself as she stands in front of the girl’s bathroom mirror at her high school. She’s wearing her father’s blue cardigan sweater and its warmth comforts her. Over her thickening blonde hair sits a Blue Jays baseball cap her older brother Chad gave her after his last visit to The Valley Stream Home where she stayed for more than six months. On her left wrist dangles her little sister Faye’s gold bracelet. For a long moment she stares into the school’s mirror, no longer afraid to face herself. There are still dark bags under her blue eyes and her cheeks–though fuller–still look too shallow. Her father, brother and sister are going to help her continue healing, but without Dr. Lyndon and the Girls’ Gang she doubts she would still be alive today.
