A " stunningly written memoir" that takes you on the journey of a
child abuse and sexual assault survivor turned activist. Photo Gallery
included ( Medium). A #1 Bestseller in Cults & Demonism and
Parenting & Relationships When Misty Griffin 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 and subjected to almost
complete isolation, sexual abuse, and extreme physical violence. Their
stepfather kept a loaded rifle by the door to make sure the young
girls were too terrified to try to escape. No rescue would ever come
since the few people who knew they existed did not care. When Misty
reached her teens, her parents feared she and her sister would escape
and took them to an Amish community. Devastated to again find herself
in a world of fear, cruelty, and abuse, Misty was sexually assaulted
by the bishop. After she escaped and reported the bishop, she found
herself alone in a modern world with only a second-grade education and
no ID or social security card. Misty has a message for abuse
survivors: "Please be encouraged, the cycle of abuse can be broken.
This is my story of survival and moving past the abuse to embrace my
dreams." In June 2019 Misty graduated nursing school. She continues to
work to raise awareness about child abuse and sexual assault. "A
testament to the courage, fortitude and power of one young woman to
take back her life."—Becca Anderson, author of The Book of Awesome
