Summary

Sexually abused by her father from infancy to early adolescence, Shirley Turcotte is now in her thirties and has succeeded in building a rich and full life. In order to raise public awareness and to help others who have been abused, she returns in this film to the people and places of her childhood. She retraces her family's nightmare with the help of her mother, sister, and two brothers---all victims of sexual or physical abuse. This extraordinary testament is evidence that the deep psychic wounds inflicted on incest victims can be healed. The message is one of hope, strongly encouraging survivors to seek help
