The heartbreaking true story of a transwoman's journey from being the unwilling "star" of a 1970's child pornography movie titled The Domination of Eric, being tortured and trafficked by the men who made it, taking part in the murder of another child, and surviving her mother's brutal violence to keep it a secret. Once free from her parents, Grace began the long road of recovery including dealing with complex PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder, self-harm, brain damage, and drug abuse.

Despite her childhood, Grace survives as a loving mother, successful engineer, volunteer victim advocate, and grateful recovering addict. This book was written for anyone wanting to understand the effects of child pornography on victims, social issues making the response to child sexual abuse so poor, those interested in trans issues and the mental aspects of transitioning, and recovery from PTSD, DID, brain damage, and drug and alcohol abuse.

Although it is hard to describe this story as inspiring, and many chapters are incredibly difficult to read, survivors of this type of abuse may also find comfort in a voice describing events they too have been unfortunate enough to have experienced. .
