Based on what is believed to be the true story that inspired John Grisham's 'A Time to Kill'. this tells a very different story than the popular novel. Mandy Stevens was a ten year old little girl when she was brutally assaulted and left for dead in a neighbors cow pasture. There was an investigation, a trail of lies and no one was ever punished for the crime committed against her. Mandy spent her young adult life pretending the horrifying events never happened, but the sorrow and the fear were always in her heart. Then, when the time was right Mandy awakened to the truth. This is the story of a child's deep sense of betrayal and sorrow and her struggle to survive, and one woman's journey from the darkness of the sea of madness into the light of her own true destiny.
