That moment of
unprotected violence,
Sarah barely escaped with her life.
She struggled to erase the nightmarish
memories with drugs.
Unfortunately,
the unthinkable
happened.
Nine months later a baby is
born.
Plagued forever with brain defects, she fights.
Ironically, her name is
Hope.

A sad turn of events indeed
