Strait Jackets and Duct Tape

The story you are about to embark on is about the life of me, Shelly Allard. Each page is filled with drama as it contains the horrific things I've been through both as a child and as an adult.

There is molestation, rape, drug abuse, and mental illness. During my trials I lost my children, I became homeless, and I was even brought as low as to be led to prostitution, which brought me to time spent in prison.

Over time, and with great support, I have overcome my addiction. I have gathered together a home, food to eat, clothes to wear, and the never-ending love of a Spanish man.

Finally I have developed self-esteem. I have become aware of the people who love me and want good things for me. I am beginning to love myself.

As an extra added treat, the ending is to die for. I mean, why should I wait for God to bring about his revenge on those twisted souls that took advantage of me, when I have the power to do it at my fingertips. I hope you enjoy reading this even half as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
