Graphic: Rape

Moderate: Child death and Mental illness

This is a series of interconnected stories all about women who have ended up in Brewster Place, and whose lives intersect in many ways. It's sad and hard, occasionally worthy of a smile. But this was not an easy read by any means. Stunning all the same.
