THE BREAK

In an emergency therapy session, Linda struggles to open up about her frustration as a single parent. Something happened with her seven-year-old daughter the night before, but no matter how her therapist presses for details, Linda remains fidgety and evasive—she’s hiding something. When the therapist catches Linda in a lie, her story unravels: In the heat of an argument, Linda made a horrible mistake and hurt her daughter. Now, she’s caught between the shame of admitting her mistake and the fear of continuing without the help she desperately needs.
