About the author

Author Bio: I am DL Lewis. I live with a cello, three indoor cats, four outdoor feral cats, and a crow named Harold. I’m a retired professional fine artist and horse-healer/caretaker of sorts; former polo player, former homeless person, and survivor of human trafficking. I’m disabled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and some years ago I choked on a piece of food and died. I was dead for quite a long while before some first responders resurrected me. I was in a coma for weeks and wasn’t expected to survive as a normally functioning human being, but I rallied, got past the months of being unable to speak clearly, read, or write and here I be: trying to put out stories that will entertain and enlighten readers. I think I will get the hang of it all some time soon … maybe.

Fast read

I feel bad for her. After what happened to her, when she was young, left its mark on her. Somehow, the evil folks, could sense that she had been a victim before. So, they took advantage of that, re-victimizing her again. Sad.

[Momina · Rating 4 out of 5]

This memoir written by the author recounts one of the most difficult times of her life, where she was constantly sexually abused, tortured and stripped off her basic human rights. It touches on some of todays most serious issues regarding politics, injustice, corrupt police forces and negligence by higher authority.

Note: there are no graphical details of violent scenes.

She is a strong girl, the one who stands up for herself and do not afraid of getting shot by guns for that.

I had mixed feeling when I read this book, but most of the time, it was an admiration. She really did fight back for the justice she deserved, but never really received it.
