Publisher's Synopsis
The abuse kept her imprisoned but she found a way to free herself - step by step up the basement stairs. What she learned at each step can help you to escape whatever holds you hostage. Many people have asked me throughout the years how I managed to move on with my life after all that I have gone through. That is the true purpose of this book - to tell you how I did it - because for many of us, that is the hardest part, the part that nobody tells you how to do. If you survive and escape a past of abuse, how do you even start to find a new "normal?" A better "normal?" For anyone who is out there trying to move on from any difficulty you have endured, I hope you make the journey up the figurative stairs in your own life, whatever they are built of. I recognize the courage that such a climb takes. The climb cannot be made without effort, but once you are at the top of the stairs, you will be amazed at how much easier the air is to breathe up here.
