SYNOPSIS:

A troubled life has led spirited Auburn Halverson to make every mistake that came her way. At twenty-three, she has finally created a stable life for her two children. However, when she finds out her boyfriend is cheating, the trauma of her childhood tells her to fall back into her destructive patterns. She must learn that choosing the pain she knows is not a sign of weakness, but a symptom of staying strong too long.

Her journey of healing begins, but she must give herself permission to stop calling the girl in the mirror ugly or face losing everything.
