Grace shares a profound story: She was sexual assaulted as a minor, which she kept secret, bearing the pain alone. The SA she suffered forced her to make an utterly heartbreaking choice. And now, circumstances have led her to even more heartbreak as the past confronts her with fresh consequences of the decision she made as a kid. It's a turbulent story of good vs. evil, and how even making the right decision can feel so wrong.

If you are the victim of sexual assault, you can seek help now from the RAINN National Sexual Assault Hotline. RAINN.ORG
