"
Michelle
Stevens
has a photo of the exact moment her
childhood
was stolen from her. In it, she's only eight years old and posing for her mother's beguiling boyfriend, Gary Lundquist - an elementary school teacher, neighborhood stalwart, and brutal pedophile. Later that night, Gary locks
Michelle
in a cage, tortures her repeatedly, and uses her to quench his voracious and deviant sexual whims.
Michelle
can also pinpoint the moment she reconstituted the splintered pieces of her life. Just a few years after being confined to a mental hospital and at the mercy of an alternate personality who kept trolling for sadistic men, she's in cap and gown receiving her Ph.D. in psychology. The improbable journey from torture, loss, and mental illness to recovery that is

Her story sheds light on the all-too-real threat of child sexual abuse and the psychological effects on its victims. An examination at the extraordinary feats of the mind in the face of unspeakably horrifying trauma and the story of
Michelle
