The Price of Freedom
Trapped by a brutal man who bought her like property, Sisi endures a life of abuse and imprisonment. Her only escape is a bi-weekly trip to the store, a small window of 'freedom' controlled by her captor, Chief. But a chance encounter with a kind stranger and a sudden, terrifying realization ignite a desperate desire for liberation. Will Sisi find the strength to break free from the chains of her past and confront the monster who holds her captive?
