Three stories of women who survive abuse by people they love; each one finds emotional healing in the process of finding her own voice. The change starts when you make the decision that, this time, I'm packing my own bags on this journey of life. All the other choices come into play after that big one. These three stories all involve women in the process of learning about that packing: what to take with, what to leave behind, who to talk to about it all. Gwyneth lost everything of meaning in her life in one night. A year and a day filled with unusual mentors bring her back into the world; Dannah won't believe in the angels she paints until her friends help her find her true self; what secret does it take to be the younger sister of a small town football star and how does Lisa find her own voice once she speaks about it?
