It's inevitable in life that things are going to change. Taking up new responsibilities to deal with that change is part of being an adult, or in the case of this chapter, part of being a 6 year old girl. Richard still doesn't know that there's anything wrong, and Zedd is doing his best to make a plan to start moving forward. Nothing is for sure, and our hero's still have everything to lose in Chapter 4 of Stone Of Tears!Facebook.com/podcastattInstagram.com/podcastattTwitter.com/podcast_attPatreon.com/podcastatt
