Writer Alexa Martin (Intercepted, Berkley Romance) took to Twitter to help her daughter over a rough patch at school and the internet responded in a big way.
Martin sent her daughter to school with a hairdo the child was happy with when she left the house, but by the time she got home was in tears. When asked what was wrong she told her mother the other kids picked on her because she is one of the few kids with curls.
