For a short period of my life, I lived in a survival mode, never knowing if each day would be my last. It was during this time that I was inspired to write my memoir. This story is an expression of how life really is unscripted for all of us; it is not about degrading anyone's dignity or humiliating the living. I've tried to portray a vivid account of my life from being a naive young girl, who at nineteen became a young wife and woman, to a planned suicide."
