As a child,
Sue Martin
struggles to
understand
why her
mother keeps
her
at a
distance.
Always
eavesdropping,
she hears
her mother
constantly
referring to
her as poor
ol’ Sue.
This
contributes
to her low
self-esteem
and leaves
her feeling
abnormal.
The story
begins in
the 1960's,
and spans
the most
formative
years of her
life.
Possessing
an intensity
about
everything,
Sue
intellectually
and
emotionally
matures at a
young age.
Gary
Waltham, a
student of
art seeks to
show her the
beauty of
the world.
Everything
about him is
a contrast
to the
turmoil and
unrest
inside her.
Very mature
for their
age, they
grow in
love.
However, one
night while
Sue is alone
at a party,
her
curiosity
about
alcohol
leads to
reckless
drinking. As
her
inhibitions
diminish,
her
repressed
sexual
desires
quickly
unfold. This
is the
beginning of
Sue’s secret
life of
sexual
exploration.
Slowly the
reckless
disregard
for herself
erodes her
stability.
Seeking to
sort life
out at
college, Sue
is stunned
by the
coldness and
indifference
of Dr. Sarah
McBride, the
Dean of
Women.
Challenged
by her
demeanor,
Sue
relentlessly
breaks
through her
facade and
discovers an
amazing
story of
Sarah’s
character
and strength
to out live
her sentence
of death.
Unbeknownst
to either of
them, their
lives have a
parallel
reality and
connection.
Sarah
McBride, now
in her
sixties, is
forced to
look back at
the great
love story
of her life,
meanwhile
Sue is
forced to
cope with a
devastating
tragedy that
reveals
overwhelming
evidence of
a love
beyond her
comprehension. |
