Welcome back to the Broken Crayons Still Color podcast! I’m your host, Shelley Hitz and today’s guest is Michele Davenport.

Michele was thrust into abuse from a very early age. She survived the first 22 years of her life by the grace of God. She was molested at eleven at an amusement park, raped by my Uncle, date raped by a boy she trusted, a victim of a heroine addict mother who was dealing with her own demons as she was dealing with mine. She was held hostage by a drug dealer who was my step dad at the time, left alone, abandoned to her own demise BUT God found her in the ditch, He pulled her out, resuscitated her life and made her into a new creation by the blood of His son. She shares her powerful story in today’s podcast.
