Chapter 24 - Reclaiming Her Freedom

Six months after the trial, Audrey took her first steps without crutches or leg braces on the green lawn of Walter Reed.
Her doctors called her recovery miraculous, but Audrey knew it was sheer determination and her father's unwavering support.
She officially legally reclaimed her maiden name, wiping the name Vance from her identity forever.
Audrey accepted a senior position as Chief Financial Auditor for a non-profit foundation assisting victims of domestic abuse.
