Mary is a woman in her twenties walking around in circles in the white cell that she now calls home in the mental institution that she has been confined to for the past few year. She shares with her doctor the answer to his question of the day, “When do I feel my mind started to break away from me?” This question takes Mary into the story of her childhood where she was at first the only child and then her life changed when her little sister was born. Her parents started paying more attention and giving more love to her than they did Mary. Mary found herself getting her “attention” from her Uncle Ray who had moved in. A counselor at a local high school, everyone thought he could be trusted. Through the eyes of Mary we see what she saw living on the farm, loving her little sister but not understanding what made her so special, trying to come to terms with her Uncle’s choice to abuse her and not her sister and the sad reality that her parents and sister knew and turned a blind eye. Finally Mary’s mind breaks and she finds herself playing with her sister on the highest beam in the barn a place that they weren’t supposed to be. But as children do they laughed and played and climbed until her sister Becca fell and died. Was it an accident? A push? Mary shares her honest soul with her doctor asking him to, just once before she dies call her beautiful. As beautiful as the white roses that she fell in love with at her sister Becca’s funeral.
