I continue to be amazed at the composure my guests have when recounting their tragedies and their traumas. This is the first part, the formative, childhood part, that Shauna recounts growing up with her father.

Listen as this Rantoul native talks candidly about the abuse she endured while living with her father, the progression from child pornography to molestation, the degradation of her confidence and self-worth, exposing the truth, getting help, hope in the system and her father's sentencing.
