My soul-searching story of a dark past. Growing up in a strict Mormon household I slowly withdraw into a dark world of my own; self-mutilating, suicide attempts and self-medicating with drugs and alcohol. I go into therapy and discover repressed memories of being severely abused by my father. My world degrades into mental illness, becoming involved with a cult, confused sexual orientation and further drug and alcohol use, culminating in a year's exploration with heroin, cocaine and meaningless sex. My self-destruction is assured but when I become ill with a life-threatening illness I must fight to live and discover my salvation. Mature content.

This book contains descriptions of underage sex, violence, abuse, rape alcohol and drugs.

With raw honesty, I trace the ways my childhood innocence was stolen and how silence, shame, and confusion shaped my early years. But this is more than a story of pain-it's a story of survival. Through reflection and courage, I revisits my past not to relive it, but to reclaim it. My words shine a light on the realities so many endure in silence, offering validation, understanding, and hope to those who have felt lost, unheard, or alone. This memoir is a testament to resilience, the complexity of healing, and the strength it takes to speak the unspeakable. Names have been changed for privacy, but I will use my own
