C H A P T E R 24. A birthday time capsule.
Born Shanice Palmer on Tuesday, July 11, 1995, at 1:45 am. Have you ever wanted to know more about the day you were born? What things were like and what was happening. I wanted to know, so I did a quick search and found out that 7000 Bosnian Muslim men were massacred.
