À propos de cet audio

A true crime memoir: When Misty 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 where they were subjected to almost complete isolation, sexual abuse, and extreme physical violence. Their stepfather kept a loaded rifle by the door at all times to make sure the young girls were too terrified to try to escape. They also knew that no rescue would ever come because only a couple of people even knew they existed and did not know them well enough to care.

Amish sexual abuse: When Misty reached her teens, her parents feared she and her sister would escape and took them to an Amish community where they were adopted and became baptized members. Misty was devastated to once again find herself in a world of fear, animal cruelty, and sexual abuse. Going to the police was severely frowned upon. A few years later, Misty was sexually assaulted by the bishop. As Misty recalls, "Amish sexual abusers are only shunned by the church for six weeks, a punishment that never seems to work. After I was assaulted by the bishop I knew I had to get help and one freezing morning in early March I made a dash for a tiny police station in rural Minnesota. After reporting the bishop I left the Amish and found myself plummeted into the strange modern world with only a second-grade education and no ID or social security card. To all abuse survivors out there, please be encouraged, the cycle of abuse can be broken. Today, I am a nursing student working towards my master's degree and a child abuse awareness activist. This is my story."

Contains mature themes.

Very interesting and well presented. I do wish that every chapter didn't start with a quote and that the end was summerized in a more condensed fashion. I understand the need for the author to stress the importance of reporting and being heard, but it loses some of it's power being repeated over and over again.

Really well done

Her story touched me in a way I haven’t seen coming. I listen to a lot of memoirs on this app and other difficult live stories but this one is really something.

It was well edited. You don’t hear too much too hard things but you can easily imagine that it was 100 times more awful then what is heard.

I had to deal with two different Amish community in my life and I alway had a weird feeling when I was there.

This woman is a strong one. If I had the chance to meet her one day I would give her a big hug for her courage.

The narration is wonderful.

Just wow... she’s so brave!

I absolutely loved this book. The author's life story is absolutely heart breaking but I love how she is shedding light on abuse and the lack of support for the victims. Thank you for taking your heart aches and allowing them to help others.

Thank you to the author for having the courage to write your story. I'm sorry you had to endure such abuse, with no help from authorities, the people who are supposed to serve and protect. Your story, while sad is truly inspirational. You have proven that you can accomplish anything.
I definitely recommend this book.
