Synopsis
Gail returned from college to a fiancé who fathered five children, Chavi, Mabel, Milton, Avena, and Marigold. As the initial shock wore off, she gave Kent an ultimatum, which he spent years trying to avoid. She had no intention of helping Kent raise these children; instead she sought to make things as difficult as possible for them. Mabel who was most affected in the process embarked on a journey trying desperately to escape the dysfunctionality. The journey took her through years of abuse, and just when she thought she would triumph, disaster struck.
