Tragic and goes far beyond the shock value elevator pitch, this was a very sad but well written portrayal of a neglected child and how she tries to break that cycle of violence and neglect as an adult. Thought provoking.
Graphic: Child abuse, Child death, Domestic abuse, Violence, Vomit, and Murder
Minor: Sexual assault
