The struggle to cope with the trauma of incest is one that many face alone. Sandra's Garden is the story of how one woman found the courage to speak the truth and, in doing so, began a journey to overcome the fear, guilt and denial that had shaped her life. It is a story about honesty, determination and hope but more importantly, it is about love, friendship and community.
