As an only child, Naomi thought it was ok that grownups lied and yelled and took money from their kids. Broken promises and moving houses a lot was just a regular thing, she thought. Older now, she realized that how her mom acted was anything but normal. Being a gifted student but a shy young lady who’s trying to fit in and act like a teenager, Naomi struggles with why her mother treats her so horribly. Was it the billowing storm of a past with her father that ignited resentment towards Naomi? Just what is the reason Leslie Gates-Thompson despises her daughter so much? Mentally and physically exhausted, Naomi gets the courage and decides her mother is not going to damage her anymore. She feels there’s only one way to escape the madness and she knows the journey is going to be torrential. With help from a friend and faith, Naomi treads through the dark, desperate to do what looks to be impossible.
