In this true story, faith, love, and loyalty are put to the test as Chelsey struggles to survive.This honest and direct accounting of her life will help other survivors, loved ones, counselors, and church and community leaders understand the dynamics that breakdown a child’s defenses and render them emotionally“frozen” and unable to flee or fight.
