Mandy was adopted by David and Margaret Taylor, devoted churchgoers who said they were ‘called by God’ to raise her after she lost her parents in a terrible hit-and-run when she was just ten years old.

But behind the surface, Mandy quickly discovered that she was viewed as a duty rather than a member of the family.

Elise had her car, new clothes, and family vacations, while Mandy was left with hand-me-downs and expected to do the housework without complaining.
