'I had learned to be very comfortable in the gaps between two lives.' 

Jessica Teich began dancing at a young age, encountering the highly sexualized world of dance at a young age. Preyed upon by a much older man, she convinces her family to send her overseas and ends up living with a French family. Like so many survivors, Jessica never told anyone about the ongoing sexual assaults, but wrote her story on scraps of paper she still has today. Now, she shares her story with us, bringing to light the words she put to paper in some of her darkest moments.
