Her childhood had moments of happiness like playing video games, riding her bike, and enjoying Christmas mornings. But behind those happy memories was a world full of fear and secrets. Shawnee was hurt by people she trusted. She had to carry pain no child should ever feel.

One strange moment changed everything. During a time of deep sadness, Shawnee had an out-of-body experience. Her spirit left her body and went to a nearby store. She chose a Popsicle, returned home, and came back into herself. That moment stayed with her forever and became a sign of how far the mind and soul can go to survive.

As Shawnee grew up, she struggled with heartbreak, loneliness, and hard choices. She made mistakes and lost her way. But through it all, she kept looking for love, safety, and hope. Even when it felt like no one cared, she never stopped fighting.

This book is raw and honest. It tells the truth about childhood trauma, survival, and the quiet strength that lives inside someone who refuses to give up.

Innocence Lost is not only about what was taken. It is about what was found. Strength. Hope. And a voice that is ready to be heard.
