**Beatings...Starvation...Death threats...Broken Bones...Sexual Abuse...**I know what true fear is. It is an emotion that I felt constantly during the months that I spent living with my aunt May. It started as a fear of being beaten by her, and then, it became fear that she would carry out her constant threats to kill me. This is the true story of the period that I spent living with my aunt May and her family when I was thirteen years old. What should have been a warm and safe home, became my prison where I would be subjected to cruelty, humiliation, and all kinds of abuse.
