Summary: This is a series of scenes from Kara's childhood. This is my first real attempt at 'reverse-engineering' a character based entirely on canon.

Spoilers: None really (there are references to a couple of things that were mentioned in Flesh and Bone, Valley of Darkness and The Farm but nothing specific seeing how all of these scenes take place long before the mini-series). Also I have to say that I started planning this before 'Resurrection Ship' aired so --just to be on the safe side-- let's say that it goes AU after 'Flight of the Phoenix' even when it comes to references to past events.

Warnings: Non-descriptive references to child abuse (how did child abuse get to be an 'adult issue' anyway?).
