I sit down with Kenna Renee Harper, an incredibly brave survivor who lived through a nightmare no child should ever endure. On Christmas Day in 2006, when Kenna was just 10 years old, her mother, who had been her best friend and a seemingly perfect soccer mom, crushed up 50 to 100 prescription pills into a drink and forced her to consume it as part of a horrific, premeditated murder-suicide plot. Kenna walks us through the terrifying reality of waking up in a hospital coma, the absolute culture shock of being placed in foster care, and the chilling experience of facing her own mother in a courtroom at just 12 years old to testify against her. We dive deep into her mother’s severe narcissism, the manipulative "savior complex" emails sent from a lenient prison camp, and how Kenna finally broke a lifelong no-contact order at age 18 to demand answers. It’s an insane, heartbreaking, but ultimately triumphant story about overcoming ultimate betrayal and building a beautiful life after severe trauma. -Elevate your summer wardrobe.
