It was the little everyday things that gave Faith both the comfort and normalcy in her life. Even as a little girl, she knew that the violence that she experienced every day at home wasn’t normal. Her only outlet had been to wish on a star, she’d either wish for something better or for something that would change her life and that would allow her to escape. Even as a teenager, she would hug the worn out blue teddy bear from her childhood as she stared out her bedroom window watching the sky change colours as the sun slowly set. A sense of anticipation would overtake her as she waited for the first start to appear so that she could make her wish. And for a few brief moments, Faith could believe that wishes did come true and that she would be saved from her nightmare of a life.
