Tortured Truth
About this ebook
Every light starts in the darkness.
What is your greatest fear?
Could you face it every day and remain sane?
For years I've been kept like an animal in a cage.
A pet to please, a slave to serve.
They stole my dignity, revoked my right as a mother and wife.
Before being taken, I was radiant, joyous even.
My elders often spoke with great reverence about who I was to become. A spiritual example to my community, yet I find it hard to see the purpose when looking in the mirror and seeing the scars of a woman I no longer recognize.
Though many try and silence our pain, I open my palms to show you the evidence of suppression.
My name is True Mouringdove a descendant of an Indigenous Tribe.
This story is not a reenactment of victory and triumph.
But a willingness to continue, under the most wicked of circumstances.
I am here, and I am a survivor.
But that doesn't mean my captors will have the same blessing.
