Written with lyrical intensity and emotional precision, the book confronts the uncomfortable truth of what happens when institutions meant to protect children instead protect power.This is not only a survivor’s story; it is an indictment, a testimony, and a reckoning.The story begins with a five-year-old child removed from her home by police in the middle of the night. From that moment, Chip’s life becomes a series of placements, punishments, and unspoken rules. Abuse is normalized.
