Summary

Can she ever recover from the abuse suffered?

Tookie, now 15 years old, shares her nightmarish memories as a survivor of unspeakable and depraved atrocities committed by the very system in charge of her protection in this dark-fiction, tell-all novella.

Lost in a corrupt "system", Tookie suffered mind-blowing abuse that would cripple any child. Although it's devastating to hear about these horrific crimes, Tookie's inspiring hard-won recovery, and the devotion of her loving grandmother, are breathtaking in this "based-in-part-on-a-true-story" novella.

This gender-studies story is difficult to listen to and has many emotional triggers, but it is a topic that the world needs to acknowledge and do something about.

Author's warning: Intense emotional triggers of child abuse. Illicit drug use. Language. Scroll up and get your copy now!
