Happily, they agree – and as they find out the extent of Joy’s suffering, they help to make her life whole again. When her mother ends up going to jail, Joy’s aunt and uncle are called and asked if they would like to take her in. She rarely went outside, and she suffered abuse from her mother and her mother’s boyfriends, including sexual abuse. Joy has only ever known the small trailer that she lived in with her mother and the random men that her mother dated. It is a story of survival and overcoming odds, as well as finding happiness and a good life afterwards. Stronger Than You Know is a horrifying portrayal of one girl’s struggle to feel normal after facing abuse for her entire life, leading her to severe trust issues, anxiety issues, panic disorder, and fear of the outside world and most of the people in it.
