Rejection takes countless forms, and it can hurt so much. No one wanted Midnite because she was Black, no one dared to keep her because she is considered Bad-Luck. Non-forgiveness or bitterness will ravage your life because of rejection. Midnite was blessed with understanding and accepting parents who saved her from a life of rejection.
