If Only I Knew

If only I'd known what was really going on through my Mom's mind. Why was she so quiet? Why did she always act so hesitant towards me? Why did she let me treat her the way that I did? If only I tried to ask, tried to be patient. If only I knew then what I know now, maybe my mom wouldn't be in a coma...fighting her internal battles by herself...

Meet Avery Winter: The daughter of a Mom who is emotionally unstable. She was never grateful for her mom. She never listened to her and constantly disrespected her. Why? Because she thought her mom was weak. She was wrong.

Meet Alma Winter: The Mother who has kept in all her secrets, who buried all of her emotional pain and acted like everything was all right. She acts hesitant and distant now, but in the past she was probably on of the most courageous people you have met. She's been through so much but nobody knew; especially Avery.

Now, sitting in the most likely soon to be old house, Avery reads through her Mom's journals to learn about her past. Why? Because just recently Alma tried to kill herself. Now desperate to have something of her Mom to grasp onto, she reads the journals. What she learns is too shocking to be true.
