Bending the Bars - Survivor
April D Brown
Publisher: April Brown
Summary
Survivors know no other life. They have been conditioned to believe abuse is normal. The search for Anne continues. Hope begins to fade. Bodies burn out. New stations open. More people try to escape. Stuck in the legal limbo land, where they are safe from abusers, while surrounded by other survivors, with little hope of full recovery. Few make it out to live beyond the bars that Ruby's Law has given to protect them. It simply isn't safe. Abusers wait out there. Often barely beyond the fence. Can the New Underground Railroad Project stay on track to train abuse survivors to live abuse-free on their own? Or will they remain behind the legal bars that protect them from their abusers?
