I Didn't Have a Choice David Lee Henley

This short story is a true recounting of the life of a young girl's enslavement for years. It has been conveyed to this writer through the narration of her life as it depicts her tragic childhood at the hands of a heartless, cruel, and truly evil child molester. It is also a condemnation of the responsible few who were expectedly to be considered as trustworthy to keep her safe; and their shameful culpability in their total lack of interference in stopping the horrors inflicted. Guilt shared not only within the family, but also from all the people around her, and the government. The blame and shame can be spread equally all around. It is not only a story of sacrifice and survival against all odds, but it is also a testament to the crucial inner strength of will and hope.
