Dinah Mullans loved to sing, and her mother, who was also a singer in her early years, wanted to see her dream come true in her daughter. The family hired a vocal coach who, even though he was a qualified and a professional coach, lusted after beautiful girls who were coached by him. This was not publicly known, and unaware of this, Dinahs family trusted him with Dinah. When the ordeal of sexual harassment began with Dinah, she was afraid to let her parents know. Her only confidant was a diary her mother gave her when she started her coaching lessons. At her final debut, when she had turned eighteen years old, her coach disguised himself as a woman and raped her in the ladies room of the concert hall. Dinah suffered from two traumatic experiencesbeing raped by her coach and unable to tell her family. Because of the trauma, she was sent to a home to recover, where she attempted suicide. After much care and counseling and with the help of a friend, she overcame the trauma and revealed her long-kept secret. This brought her justice as her vocal coach was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. After losing his mind, he committed suicide. Ten years later, Dinah was back on stage, singing even better than she had ever been and fulfilled the dream her mother wanted to see come true.
