Description

True story! About a young group home kid with a dark history from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, fighting her way to overcome the obstacles (a term I use loosely) put unyieldingly in her path. At the age of fifteen, Melanie found herself heading down a negative rabbit hole. She had been bounced between the care of her mother who was battling with severe mental illness and the foster system; a system which failed her. During Melanie’s most formidable years, she was raised in a system and a home fraught with all spectrums of abuse and neglect. It wasn’t long before she found herself living in a delinquent centre. Melanie was filled with anger, a loss of self-worth and questioning if she should go on living, until the day she found out at the tender age of 15, she was pregnant. Melanie’s personal recount of her life, will take you through a range of emotions. Not only will you be able to understand her battles but have a front row seat in experiencing her darkess hours. Melanie’s emotional journey is a testament to who she was and who she had to become. She’s fought all odds.
