They say time heals all wounds, but some wounds just run too deep…

What kind of parents give away seven lonely, scared, innocent children? This is the true story of a family torn apart by careless and neglectful parents—the story of seven children left to fend for themselves, abandoned by their parents, and adopted out to other families. It’s a story of bitterness, hatred, and jealousy between family members who would go to any lengths to get what they want. It’s a story of innocence lost. And for one of these abandoned children, it’s the story of courage and love, of trying to forge a connection to a family that has been fractured beyond repair. Deborah Ashbaugh shares her heart-wrenching struggle to come to terms with the wreckage of her past and find some measure of peace and acceptance.
