When Dr. Angela Morrison agrees to facilitate a women's meeting at her church, she becomes engrossed in the traumatic stories of four women. As she listens to the horrific tales, Angela is propelled back into the terror of her own harrowing past and forced to confront her demons. Anita Harrison, the pastor's wife, lives in a theatrical production where she is a character in a tragedy and her husband is the director. Unlike the theater, the action is real; the beatings are real, and her fear is real. From a young age, Ernestine Johnson learned to survive. Over time, she uses her body to get everything she wants-except love. Toni Brown, motivated by hate and vengeance, vows to punish the man who stole her life and raped her soul while he kept her locked in a basement. Candace Carter is trapped in a world dominated by pornography and prostitution. Abandoned, molested, and abused since age five, she is easily manipulated by the one man who is all too eager to exploit her death. In this unforgettable and poignant tale, five women must face the horrors of their truths, but all of them may not survive their realities.
