Nina became foster child to a religious non-conformist family. When she was eight years old her foster-father began to abuse her sexually. Nina remembers how she tried to suppress what her foster-father had done to her - what had happened had not really happened. She remembers the fear, the shame and the degradation.
But Nina's childhood experiences caught up with her later when she was married and had two children. An explosive crises left her in hospital for a long time and wrecked her marriage.
