This true story will take you on a journey through the life of a child that suffers from horrible physical and mental abuse. You will truly be shocked, saddened, and emotional, yet amazed and excited, as you find yourself rooting for Wayne, for his courage and the extraordinary power of the human spirit.

How to suffer and survive the most deplorable degradation, pain and abandonment. This story will show you family dynamics in a secretive, isolated setting of horror and hopelessness, and how this young boy learned to survive and found a safe place for refuge. He will go on to face the world as a young adult with minimal life skills. The decisions he faced day to day and how he self-taught himself to be a functional person in society.

Wayne will give you hope that no matter how many times it seems adverse or hopeless, tomorrow is a better day and you should never give up. As an adult Wayne has faced the truth about his childhood and has realized he did not have parents and has learned forgiveness and how to be a parent to himself.

The healing begins.
