Audrey Tiberius of Alpine, Utah knew she wanted a big family ever since she can remember. And she always knew exactly how many children she wanted: seven.
A 23-year-old California woman named Britt left work one night feeling a little under the weather. She ended up checking herself into the ER hours later, hoping to be treated for her stomach pain.

“I’ve rebuilt myself bit by bit. I’m brave, independent, and strong. I have forgiven myself for letting him hurt me.”
