It is January 1947, and a determined winter storm buries the city of Chicago. The night is bitter cold, but not as cold as the heart of a mother, who has just given birth to a child she never wanted. Thus begins the life journey of Katie O'Brien and her search to find love. It is a gripping tale of abuse, romance, betrayal, and self-discovery. Katie's story transcends into the changing times of the Fifties, touching on a social issue of that era and forever searing its memory in Katie's young mind. The saga continues into the turbulent Sixties where she comes of age. When Katie is seventeen, a tragic turn of events takes place and sends her on a frightening journey to the house of horrors where she devises a plan to escape from her mother's abuse and dominance.
