Stolen Innocence: Reclaiming My First Decade

She was never given a childhood-so she fought to build one from the ashes.

In Stolen Innocence: Reclaiming My First Decade, Paige opens the door to the hidden chapters of a life that began with silence, survival, and stolen trust. From being abandoned and passed between dangerous hands to sleeping under motel mattresses and fleeing Child Protective Services, Paige's early years were shaped by chaos, secrecy, and fear.

But this is not just a story of what was taken-it's a testimony of what was reclaimed.

Told through poetic prose and raw recollections, Paige shares her journey from a girl who didn't know the alphabet at age ten to a student who wept every summer when school ended. With courage and vulnerability, she revisits the courts, classrooms, and quiet victories that helped her fight for safety, education, and a voice of her own.

This memoir is a tribute to every child who had to grow up too fast-and a reminder that even in the darkest places, hope quietly waits to be found.
