The world knows me as the Superher...

If there is such a thing as fate, then I thank her for putting Rahim Victor on my path. I know that if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be alive to write these words and share my story with you.

Susan's asked to leave Hannah's spare bedroom in Hershey, PA. Susan sat on her twin, lumpy bed in Hannah's small, spare bedroom talking to herself through her tears.
