One in four women and one in six men are sexually abused before age eighteen. Lisa was not yet three.

She was raised by a single, stressed-out, abusive mom, who worked full time and relied on government assistance and an abusive married boyfriend to get by. Because of this, Lisa never felt normal as a child so she chased the idea of having a normal family in her romantic relationships and friendships. In the end, Lisa discovers that she will never be normal and that is actually a good thing.
