She experienced life through the eyes of a child and embraced its innocence when nurtured by nature. She saw how reality could become hidden in fairy-tales and imaginary friends. She found a place where she felt safe from quiet alienation and her father's hands. On the day her innocence was stolen from her, her world started to unravel, revealing betrayal, rape, abandonment, loss and grief beyond measure. Nurtured in an appetite for the one thing she felt she could do, she told her story with remarkable courage, forgiveness and faith. Why is it that we remember so vividly the pain in our lives but struggle to remember the cherished moments that bring us joy? Why do we cling so fiercely to our scars and not allow them to heal? An emotionally complex, heart-wrenching story about grief, hope, motherhood, love and new beginnings.
