Shelly Kittleson Is Free A terrible, harrowing week has finally concluded.

Just a quick note to let you all know that Shelly is free. I’ll share anything else if and when I can — when/if I know it’s safe. Know that freedom is when a new struggle starts, the struggle of dealing with what captivity has done to you.
