Tessa S Jensen
A story about a woman finding God after religious manipulation, mental illness, and abuse. Shame stitched her mouth shut, abuse scalded her voice, and religious manipulation taught her that she must earn unconditional love through self-inflicted torture. Tessa understood her failings before she knew her favorite color. 'You’re too emotional, too sensitive, you look too much like your mother, and you’re a constant disappointment. How exacting are the demands for her freedom?
