You know the voice: the quiet whisper that says, "stop, turn around; this path isn't for you." In her case, ignoring that voice almost cost her her life. Her story is one of courage, faith, and learning to be honest with herself in the presence of a controlling and abusive partner. Her story is one of learning to prioritize her needs alongside her children's. Today, she's found her voice as a survivor of domestic abuse, a label she refuses to allow shame to cast any shadows over her.
