About this ebook

Growing up in a small town in Ohio, Chelsea's life is picture-perfect. A solid, Christian family running their little farm while homeschooling their children is what people see on the outside. But that is far from the truth. Her parents' obscure religious beliefs and tainted thinking are a prison for her to thrive while growing up. Sexual abuse by her father, as well as other trusted adults, are normal occurrences during her childhood. The secrets of abuse and the shame it causes build even-thicker prison walls.

With incredible strength and the support of friends, Chelsea finds the courage to speak up and break free. She learns that true freedom does not come when the abuse stops. It is a long journey of altering her mind and learning the truth of who God created her to be.

This book is a true and raw account of abuse and the damage it does to the hearts of those who endure it. Not only does Chelsea share her pain but also her healing journey and how God has brought redemption from her pain. She explains in detail what has helped her continue to push through and also what has gotten her through many dark, hopeless days.

Chelsea's desire for the book is to bring light to the extreme darkness of abuse and to show others there is hope through healing to those fighting to survive.
