A TRIFLE FROM LIFE

A Trifle From Life

A sweet precocious boy who is betrayed by his mother's self-absorbed lover.

In a short number of pages we witness a child learning what the world is really like --  a world of lying and treachery -- we feel the tragedy of  growing up and leaving our purity and vulnerability behind and eventually having to don the armor that protects us from adults who only care about themselves and are willing to do anything to get their way.

A lesson that is not trifle at all.
