Synopsis "Hannah's Climb (in English)"
Hannah is 5 1/2 years old when her parents are hit head-on by a drunk driver, leaving her at the mercy of her father's estranged cousin, Thomas. He is only after the life insurance that has been left to Hannah by her parents. He also holds another secret, the secret about a family ranch which should, by all rights, be half Hannah's. This secret leads Thomas to resent Hannah. Carrie Ann, Thomas's wife, and Erik, Thomas's son, are now expected to take care of this little girl, and they greatly resent having this responsibility thrown at them. This leads them to abuse and neglect Hannah. Hannah is forced to learn the rules of surviving in this new environment, but as she becomes a teenager the rules change. As her body changes Erik takes notice and he takes advantage. Through all of the terrible abuse, there have been angels placed in her path to help her survive. Then two horrible events take place. First: the only friends she has had are kidnapped. Second, the abuse becomes more than she can handle. Hannah is pushed to the point of giving up when an old friend, Light Foot, finds her. He stays by her side through the healing process and is committed to helping her recover. Light Foot, who is doing an internship with the Forest Service at Yellowstone National Park, doesn't realize that helping Hannah means he is putting his own life in danger. He is forced to go on the run. Choosing to run to the trails in Yellowstone, that he is so familiar with, and praying for help, he is saved by bears. Hannah's story takes you through real abuse and the emotionally charged situations that come from it. Hannah's climb is unique in the fact that it contains real hypnotherapy sessions. Sessions that have worked with my clients. Sessions that have brought some of the most amazing outcomes. In the end, Hannah learns to climb out of her old life and find greater heights in a beautiful new world.
