Penny Lane was just four years old when she first met her stepmother, the beginning of a deeply abusive relationship. This episode unpacks Penny’s childhood, marked by neglect, physical and psychological abuse, and survival against all odds. Her story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity we have within us to heal and find redemption.

In part two of this powerful story, we pick the story up as Penny describes herself as broken. After a lifetime of abuse Penny is ready to put the pieces of her life back together and it is truly inspirational. Penny shares this journey in her memoir, "Redeemed: A Memoir of a Stolen Childhood."
