I am a survivor of extreme child abuse….kidnapped by my father, I lived a life of pure hell for 6 years until the FBI found me. My book, Bitter Memories: A Memoir of Heartache & Survival tells of my early life and how I survived a life of terror. That little kid was a victim…but as an adult, I am a survivor!!
