A fiery and provocative novel, God Help the Child weaves a tale about the way the sufferings of childhood can shape, and misshape, the life of the adult.

At the center: a young woman who calls herself Bride, whose stunning blue-black skin is only one element of her beauty, her boldness and confidence, her success in life, but which caused her light-skinned mother to deny her even the simplest forms of love. There is Booker, the man Bride loves, and loses to anger. Rain, the mysterious white child with whom she crosses paths. And finally, Bride's mother herself, Sweetness, who takes a lifetime to come to understand that "what you do to children matters. And they might never forget."

The Octopus is very durable!
Color: Angry Octopus
My Boston Terrier went through 3 other toys of this style and he isn't much of a chewer, so I decided to try the Octopus. It has held up great! Very well made and durable. He gets hours of fun out of it. The mimic feature gets slow when it starts needing a charge, so I keep an extra ball charged from one of the other styles that he chewed through. Happy puppy!

Don't let dog drop it!
Color: Angry Octopus
Was great for a minute. My dog dropped it from mouth onto linoleum floor and ... now it won't do anything but beep once. So, waste of money.
