Why are some children gifted with nurture and protection while others are sentenced to abuse and neglect?
A girl is trapped in the helplessness of childhood, left betrayed by those closest to her. She breaks free, but stumbles and falls trying to find her way. Her struggle through pain and shame led her into an ugly self-fulfilling prophecy. She's brutally honest as she shares her journey that ultimately led her into addiction. Feeling she was abandoned to suffering, no longer caring if she lived or died. Finally, she discovers an inner strength, allowing for her cathartic walk to begin. A story of survival, voiced in a uniquely beautiful format of poetry and prose interwoven with humor and rare honesty.

This book is the raw and genuine story of a woman's life who has grown through many trials and tribulations. The poetry rolls off the pages and connects the reader, bringing them on her journey. As a mental health professional, who witnessed the author's therapeutic experience while writing this book, I'm excited to see her dream come to fruition with the publication of this book.
