The Promise of Rehabilitation

Circle of Hope Girls Ranch boasted a strict regimen designed to rehabilitate troubled teens through chores, schooling, and Bible study. Parents, like Teresa Tucker, were drawn to the promise of spiritual help at the facility when faced with their child's rebellion. In Ashley's case, her desperate mother signed her up without knowing the true nature of the institution or its harsh environment. This led to Ashley feeling hopeful at first, but she quickly realized that the reality of her situation was far from the advertised promise.
