For most of her life, Christa Hernandez had no safe place to call home. Brutally abused, sexually molested, and constantly hopping from house to house as her life turned inside out over and over again, Christa grew up without knowing the meaning of home or of unconditional love. She struggled with her faith, struggled with her self-worth, and literally ended up at a train station with her life in garbage bags. That horrific childhood turned her into a prime candidate for predators in the sex trafficking industry. Christa's account of escaping that nightmare, finding herself, and restoring her relationship with God, is compelling and unforgettable.At its core, Christa's honest portrayal of her victory over her past is a story of strength and hope. Readers from all walks of life will draw inspiration from her amazing journey.
