Childhood should be a time of innocence and joy, a time to learn and grow and explore the world. But for some, childhood is a time of darkness and pain, a time when they are subjected to abuse that can shatter their innocence and leave them with lifelong scars.

This is the story of one such child, a young girl who was subjected to years of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. The abuse had a profound impact on her life, leaving her with deep emotional wounds and a shattered sense of self.
