Summary

New Merch Release: www.redhandedshop.com



10 year old Candace‘s adopt mum, Jeane Newmaker, wanted nothing more than to help her little girl overcome her attachment disorder. But all the medication in the world wasn’t doing much to ease Candace’s difficult behaviour. Then, a desperate June found a “therapist” who promised quick results. But horrifically the 70 minute rebirthing ritual that followed, ended in Candace’s brutal death.
