A “stunningly written memoir” that takes you on the journey of a child abuse and sexual assault survivor turned activist. Photo Gallery included (Medium).
A #1 Bestseller in Cults & Demonism and Parenting & Relationships
When Misty Griffin was six years old, her family started to live and dress like the Amish. Misty and her sister were kept as slaves on a mountain ranch and subjected to almost complete isolation, sexual abuse, and extreme physical violence. Their stepfather kept a loaded rifle by the door to make sure the young girls were too terrified to try to escape. No rescue would ever come since the few people who knew they existed did not care.
When Misty reached her teens, her parents feared she and her sister would escape and took them to an Amish community. Devastated to again find herself in a world of fear, cruelty, and abuse, Misty was sexually assaulted by the bishop. After she escaped and reported the bishop, she found herself alone in a modern world with only a second-grade education and no ID or social security card.
Misty has a message for abuse survivors: “Please be encouraged, the cycle of abuse can be broken. This is my story of survival and moving past the abuse to embrace my dreams.” In June 2019 Misty graduated nursing school. She continues to work to raise awareness about child abuse and sexual assault.
“A testament to the courage, fortitude and power of one young woman to take back her life.” —Becca Anderson, author of The Book of Awesome Women

This is a sad but very inspiring read. My heart goes out to all these people that are in these situations. My upmost admiration to those who stood up for themselves and for others. I highly recommend this book!

Sad that she was abused and sad that the author did not fight harder, at least once she was adult, to rescue the others since she knew the victims and the abusers names. Finally she did no more than the police or the social services. Disappointing. Abuse will not stop if nobody is willing to fight for those who cannot defend themselves.And also Disappointing that she didn't stay in touch with the people who rescued her and did so much for her.
