At the tender age of seventeen, kidnapped, and placed into human trafficking, Cindy tells how her kidnapper, pimp, and father of her children subtly built strongholds--brick by brick, layer by layer--until he became the dominating force in her life. "Jim" being diagnosed with terminal cancer in an attempt to clear his conscience and receive forgiveness, confesses to a deeper evil that he had withheld from Cindy since the kidnapping. After "Jim's" death in 1995, Cindy discovered the power within the pages of the Word of God and through the Holy Spirit combined with prayer began claiming God's promises over her life and the lives of her children. Several years later filled with determination to live a life in union with Christ, Cindy found herself on the doorstep of her father and stepmother's house. A place she had left nearly forty years earlier and for good reason. Upon returning Cindy was no longer an abused, scared, and lost child, but God had transformed her into a courageous warrior standing in his might and strength. This is a true-life testimony of a woman who preferred to spend much of her life in bondage and captivity with her children, rather than spend one moment in freedom without them. A woman who has learned how to forgive and to love unconditionally. A woman who fought against the odds, put her faith in God and learned how to obey and trust in him no matter what the circumstances were. Psalms 31:13-15, 17: "For I have the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they deceived to take my life. "But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my God. "My times are in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me. "Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee."
