Our heroine, Angela weaves a tale of tragedy and of triumph by piecing together her fragmented memories. We are taken on a journey that spans two generations, beginning with the violent life of her father and ending with the seedlings of a new generation. All is bared as the reader is brought into this dark world where tragedy knows no bounds, where rape is swept under the rug and lives are torn apart by the mere touch of a hand.
It is a tale of love and deception and the amazing bond that is shared between sisters; Angela and Faith. It is this bond that aids in their joint survival through years of pain and torture at the hands of those who claim to love them. This is not the typical tale of abuse. It is not a story of sympathy or of pity. It is one of strength and of decisions that no child should ever have to make and it is told in a way which is all encompassing and enveloping. It is the final glimpse within the tortured mind of the abused and the abuser as each becomes the other.
