There is surely nothing more unforgivable than a parent who betrays the trust of his/her child. In this compelling story, Elizabeth and her sister, Jaime, have a violent, alcoholic father who is divorced from their mother. Their mother is nurturing until she meets Terrance, a convicted sex offender, and marries him, fully aware of his history. Elizabeth and Jaime are left to decide whether to live with their alcoholic father and his new wife or stay with their mom and the looming threat of Terrance. They are shuffled from one relative's home to another until a crisis is reached. Elizabeth's story is especially heartbreaking as she searches for a place to belong and be safe, while continuing to be concerned for Jaime's well-being.
