Having been raised in a religious and socially isolated home, nothing prepared me for the dangerous world I would encounter. Stained is the true story of an innocent girl, and her fight for survival. While growing up, I heard my mother whispering about my uncle. At age 11, I found out the dark secret of Uncle Hank. That was only the beginning of a long and painful jouirney of sexual abuse and emotional torment, and living with the permanent stain of shame. After being rape twice by the same man, I was horrified when he moved into the house across the street. Being thrown into an abyss of shame and fear, suicide seemed to be the only way out. This is the true story of the first twenty years of my life.
