You will be such an inspiration to so many individuals who have yet to come to terms with the trials they have been dealt with in their lives. You should hold your head up high you have done nothing wrong.
I'm sorry for your pain and suffering all these years. You just may be fulfilling your purpose in this life. Thank you for not being silent.

A heartwrenching story. The life dealt her doesn't seem fair yet she's able to find meaning and to share her insights with us. I'm glad she didn't run away but confronted her situation. She's an inspiration to us all. I wish her continued success in the ups and downs of life.

As I read about Elizabeth Smart going on a mission, and seeing how she has grown and let the Atonement bless her life. I thought about this young mother and how she too has let the Atonement be in her life. How inspiring to see both of these women take such a negative and let it become a positive, thanks for sharing.
