0:00.0	Candice Newmaker was a broken child. At least that's what she was made to believe. She was also told
0:07.2	that therapy could fix her and unlock the kind of love she had never experienced. All it
0:12.8	would take was a little trust to finally become the daughter she was meant to be. In the end,

2:04.5	But things were tough.
2:06.4	There was never enough money and rarely any stability in the family.
