Beautiful story of a woman reflecting on her life. I liked how much history was tied into it. I also enjoyed the portrayal and story of a woman making her own life when it was so difficult for women and the oppression they faced.
Graphic: Addiction, Domestic abuse, and Rape
Lots of discussion about addiction and domestic abuse and rape. It discusses the very sad truth of how prevalent violence against women.
