The Black Pencil Skirt

"I never meant for any of this to happen. I didn't want him to go to jail and I didn't want the whole world to know what he'd done to me. I just wanted a father, a real one who would take me out for ice cream and to the movies. One who would come to teacher parent meetings and give me random advice when I needed it. I wanted someone to depend on, someone to trust, but what I got was quite the opposite." As far as Evelyn Winters can remember, her life has been a chaotic, black hole. She lost her mother at the age of nine and soon became the victim of her sexually abusive alcoholic father. After years of being raped and beaten by her father, she is finally set free from his abusive and demeaning grasp. But before she can really and truly move on and come to terms with her life she has to testify in court and publicize her life to a bunch of strangers while also being mandated to court ordered therapy with the elusive and attractive Dr. Carmichael.
