Biografier
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

Välskriven. Gripande. Lättläst trots tungt ämne.

Det var nära många gånger att både lurarna och mobilen åkte i golvet av ren ilska och frustration över denna orättvisa. Många som blundar dags att alla vaknar och inser att alla har sitt egna människovärde.

This book is incredibly well written and I devoured it in a couple of days. My heart aches for the people that are stuck and silenced, and I am furious that this is still happening. Always try to be a good person and help others, no matter what you believe in. That is the only way we can change the world for the better. Thank you Misty, for telling your story ❤

Tragiskt och rent för j-t att ingen "såg" vad som hände under alla år, vare sig när de bodde hos mamma och styvfar eller i Amish-sekten..Fruktansvärt!! ..Tack Misty för att du berättade. Förbjud sekter!!!!
