How easy it is to forget

It's the story of Cassie, a girl, then a teenager, then a woman, whose life is negatively marked by the absurd relationship with her father. A life filled with fear, tears, suffering, and cries for help that go unheard.  Cassie spends her entire existence searching for a shred of affection from a father who instead ignores her, hates her, and sees her as a burden.  Cassie finds the strength to move forward thanks to the presence of a loving mother, though her mother is also guilty of often remaining silent and allowing the verbal and physical abuse to take place.
Yet, despite everything, her mother remains her guiding light-the reason she pushes on and endures.
