Holy cow. This is an incredible story. It gave me the chills. I cannot say enough good things about it. This is an incredibly raw and powerful story about a mother’s unwavering love for her children and her ultimate sacrifice to protect them. It highlights the emotional turmoil experienced by those in abusive relationships and emphasizes the importance of seeking support and resources.
After enduring years of abuse, June Marlow kills her husband in self-defense, though she lacks the evidence to back up her claim. Fast forward twenty years later, to June’s impending release date. Luella and Nicole, June’s daughters, are forced to confront their own confusion and unease surrounding the night their father was as murdered and the lasting impact his death and their mother’s imprisonment has had on their lives afterwards.
Lu is an artist, and expresses her grief and pain through art. As a trauma therapist, Nicole helps others navigate their own trauma but struggles to confront her own. Cole can’t remember that night and harbours resentment for her mom, believing that she destroyed their family. During her work, Cole encounters a little girl who has experienced a similar situation. As Nicole helps the little girl, she also learns how to cope with her own experience.
I really loved the ending. It is really heartfelt and focuses on the strength and resilience of the family and the coming together to heal and rebuild after a life-altering traumatic event.
