Melissa Smith is sharing her story of how she was abducted at gunpoint and then sexually assaulted back in 2013. While this story may be difficult to listen to, we hope that it will ultimately leave you feeling hopeful that while you may not be able to leave your trauma or choose your trauma, you can choose how you move forward.
