There were not many princess fairy tales in Shawn McClains daydreams. Throughout her life, she was told how stupid and ugly she was and what a bad person she was. Early in life, she thought little slut was her name. Shawn was constantly reminded that she would never amount to anything. This opposition came from her mother, brother, aunts, uncles, and even a few of her teachers. At age 16, Shawn had enough. She dropped out of school and ran away from home. She began to sell herself and commit small misdemeanors to gain what she viewed as necessities. After a while, she even began to cause physical harm to her Johns (sex customers) for no apparent reason, except self-gratification. Shawns life remained this way until her incarceration for murder at age 25.
