The personal story of author Dr. Debi Toporoff will help those dealing with the memory and pain of abuse, as well as those looking to understand what children suffering from abuse have experienced. She uniquely tells her story from a child's perspective, highlighting her mother's physical abuse, her father's neglect, and the moments of rest she had while taken away to foster families.

She uniquely tells her story from a child's perspective, highlighting her mother's physical abuse, her father's neglect, and the moments of rest she had while taken away to foster families. By the age of four, she remembers being held responsible for cleaning the household while enduring the wrath of her never-satisfied mother. Not for the faint of heart, she graphically tells of going blind in one eye, cracking her skull, and breaking her leg, all by her mother's hand.

Through several foster families, caring teachers, and co-workers, she pieced together the story of Jesus, and his forgiveness and never-failing love for her, which lead to hope and forgiveness. "You can not change history. But you can change the history of the heart."
