“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”

Maya Angelou

Nothing is impossible to overcome. Not drugs, not an eating disorder, not self-harm, not panic attacks, not prison, not rape, not living on the streets with no money, no family and no hope. I can say this because I was there. 

Raised in a middle class Jewish family, I learned at a young age I had no right to exist. I lived wild, out of control, on life's edge. 

I was told I could have a marginal life with professional intervention. I beat the odds - I did it with God's help. In the Eye of Deception is my story - a story of healing and redemption.
