Wow. I don't usually post about heavy things but ... wow. This brave little girl endured so much. For a very poignant photo essay, go here.

What fascinates me is that during all of this horrific abuse she was driven to survive - to live. I think that if I would have been subjected to such terrible treatment, I would have curled up and died.

She has survived to tell her story. Let's hope her story awakens the world to such human cruelty.
