Tasha grew up in a home that from the outside looked like a stereotypical middle-class family. The reality was Tasha was conflicted early in life by who she was inside and who she had to pretend to be on the outside. She was raised in a strict religious environment that was governed by religious beliefs and rules that allowed for little or no flexibility. Tasha’s internal struggles began to manifest in ways that would lead to a series of bad decisions.
Tasha’s inability to express herself and accept her own sexuality, caused her to lead a secret life. Her increasing use of drugs and alcohol ultimately led her to be the victim of sexual assault. The consequences were not asked for nor deserved but would ultimately result in an unexpected pregnancy from the predator who had violated her.
Overwhelmed with shame and guilt, Tasha was unable to share her story with anyone other than her closest friend, another drug addict she thought she could trust. What happened next would result in the world unraveling around her and that of the family her secrets had been hidden from. The stillbirth of her child, her own life in peril from her loss of blood, and the feelings of hopelessness and desperation of a young girl would be the catalyst for an innocent, yet devastating mistake.
Tasha would now become the victim of the criminal justice system, as she was incarcerated and now left without hope. God, faith, and forgiveness transformed a story of hopelessness and guilt, into a story of restoration and second chances that everyone deserves.
