While suffering through violent moments of abuse at home, she seems doomed to relive relentless bullying at school. As she withdraws ever deeper within herself, her mental health begins to decline. Sadly, no one seems to notice until it is too late. As her faith in God is tested time and again, Ava must ultimately decide if her life is worth living. Her crisis of faith brings about an understanding of humanity’s capacity for deception, depravity, and deliverance. This story delivers a gut-wrenching account of her incredible journey through trauma and triumph; shame and survival; fear and forgiveness. Can she break the generational curses of silence and abuse? Will she recover from constant bullying and harassment? What Happens in the Family explores the damage caused by silencing abuse survivors while ultimately protecting the abusers.
