Other times, I look at my scars and see something else: a girl who was trying to cope with something horrible that she should never have had to live through at all. My scars show pain and suffering, but they also show my will to survive. They're part of my history that'll always be there. Cheryl Rainfield
About This Quote

She was a child when she was taken from her parents. She was a child when she was raped, and a child when she killed. But she was also a young adult, fighting for her life every day. When you look at Brooke's story, you see so much more than just a tragic event.You see a girl who has to constantly fight for her life every day because the people she trusted have left her to die.

You see a girl who must constantly fight to stay alive because the people around her did not care enough to save her. You see a girl who must constantly fight for justice because society did not care enough to protect her. You see someone who constantly fights for survival in the face of such things as abandonment and betrayal.

It is these things that make up Brooke's story, and they are what make her such an inspiring character.
