The Other Other Woman, an essay in THE OTHER WOMAN: TWENTY-ONE WIVES, LOVERS, AND THE OTHERS TALK OPENLY ABOUT SEX, DECEPTION, LOVE, AND BETRAYAL (Hardcover) by Victoria Zackheim (Author)
Currently being serialized online at Amazon Shorts: THE GIFT OF EVIL: Daisy, the preternatural 3-year-old heroine of The Playgroup, is now 8 years old. The villain (who would be a saint) is an ophthalmologist who once thought he could save the world for the children but, disillusioned, instead tries to save the children from the world. His m.o. is to fit kids with contact lenses that deliver a psychotropic medicine via the ophthalmic nerve, such that they can see no evil. Life looks beautiful but the children are imperiled when they witness terrible things.
