The Lies That Bind

How far would a mother go to regain control?

​

Vivien is a master manipulator. She inherited the behavior from her own mother, Joyce, who endured a problematic childhood creating emotional issues that grew stronger and more challenging as she aged.

​

Vivien had always been desperate to escape her mother’s controlling ways and explosive temper. She pictured herself better, living a life created in her fruitful imagination. She never anticipated that she would end up mirroring those same extreme traits with her own daughter, Rosemary. 

​

Now, coarsely shaped by generations of parental control and emotional abuse, young Rosemary must find her way to break that cycle and make peace with both the life she’s been forced to lead and the questionable choices and behaviour of the women who came before her. A hidden truth helps her find peace and some sort of understanding, as she unravels the lies that bind.
