A survivor’s moving account of being stolen (from her home) by the church and the horrors she regularly faced while imprisoned. This is a very quick read so the upsetting sections aren’t drawn out but the addition of the images really emphasized the emotion. I just wish it were longer!
Graphic: Forced institutionalization and Emotional abuse
Moderate: Pedophilia and Injury/Injury detail
