Sandy, Breaking the Pattern

"I love my Da."

Raised to a life of crime, Sandy is a teenage prostitute, junkie, and con artist. She always joked that her Da taught her a trade, that it hadn't hurt her to be brought up like she was.

But things keep getting more complicated, more dangerous, and Sandy doesn't want to admit even to herself that she longs for an honest, normal life.

Even when she tries to change, things don't go smoothly. Sandy's past keeps interfering with her new relationships. In the end, if she and her family don't pull together, Sandy will not be able to escape yet another ghost of her past. Do they have what it takes for her to change her life completely?
