Fleeing poverty and oppression in Liberia, Levia and her mother settled in the USA, in hope of achieving the American Dream.

But all too soon, facing the shadow of the past and the brutal reality of culture shock, Levia has to question her own strengths and faith when forced into foster care.

In foster care, Levia faced the challenge of teenage life, and relationships. In her search for romance, Levia met a "nice guy" from church. She let her guard down and fell into the trap of a sexual predator. This traumatic experience led Levia to battle suicidal thoughts.

Follow Levia's journey as she navigates the good and the bad of the American dream.
