This is the story of Sandra, a carefree innocent child who is celebrating her eighth birthday. It is then when she meets her mom's new boyfriend John who comes baring a gift, a porcelain ballerina. Little does she know her innocence will soon be torn apart. Sandra deals with sexual abuse from John's obsessive personality for 10 years until she can move out at age eighteen with her mom still shedding a blind eye to all that has happened. She tries to overcome her inner demons but is caught in a downward spiral of alcohol abuse. It is not until her final confrontation with her stepfather that she is able to release herself from her troubling past and move on to lead a normal life.
