Sometimes survival means leaving everything behind--except the truth. She wakes each morning to fists, fury, and the echo of a voice that was supposed to love her. Home is a battlefield, and survival means knowing when to stay quiet--and when to run. On the first day of the new year, after one brutal blow too many, she leaves. What follows is a raw, unfiltered journey through the underbelly of survival--where trust is currency, danger is everywhere, and freedom is as terrifying as it is intoxicating. With nothing but a backpack and a journal, she documents every harrowing step, every flicker of light in the darkness, and every moment she chooses to live when it would be easier not to. Told in fierce, aching diary entries, Had to Get Away is a visceral coming-of-age story about trauma, escape, and the courage it takes to claim your own story--even when the world never wanted to hear it.
