Based on the book by T.D. Jakes, this movie takes a very serious look at some personal factors. The movie was very good, but not as good as the book. The movie focuses in on the story of a young girl who ends up in prison and has the opportunity to actually meet the real Bishop T.D. Jakes. The movie is heart breaking, scary, loving, spiritual and so much more. It covers in great detail the path that one could inevitably take due to child abuse, neglect or long term maltreatment. T.D. Jakes brings forth The Lord's forgiveness for the perpetrator and the victim. This movie allows you to see through the eyes of an abused child, an abused mother, an abusive step father, a man of God, people surrounding each of the characters and outsiders. It was very interesting to see how others treated the main character simply based on their own personal belief systems. Some people change and some people just continue to talk about others. On a scale from one to ten, I give this movie a 7.5. This movie will make you think and will not leave you without needing a box of tissues. It is worth watching, especially if you're willing to do some personal work on yourself.Read full review
A very good movie. If you have ever experienced sexual abuse as a child it will hit you hard. Get out your Kleenex as you will need them. But listen to the message also as it's true with God you can survive and overcome anything.

Very deep and inspiring movie. Especially insightful for anyone who has suffered abuse or know someone who has. Shocking ending. Gives meaning to the word forgiveness.

An excellent story on the aftermath of abuse. Well written and well acted. Kimberly Elise is awesome. Loretta Devine plays the clueless selfish mother to a T. This is what can happen when a child is not believed about this awful crime. All to often mothers choose the abuser over the abused. This is the perfect example of what can happen when such betrayal occurs. This is a wonderful, emotional and gripping story. At times hard to watch but a must see.
I really like this movie because it is real. It does not sugar coat anything and so many times Christians want to do that. If God calls us to help the hurting people then we need to see what they really go through. That is one reason why I think that TD Jakes had cussing in it. Because he wanted to be as real as possible and show the world and the church what people really go through. It does not mean that he cusses when he leaves church or anything. I think he did a great job with this film along with all the other people that worked on it.
I like this movie Saw it before I wanted it for my collection I’m glad it was available thanks.

This movie has so many aspects to be dealt with. A child that is molested, a parent that doesn't believe the child, a boyfriend that is going nowhere in the relationship, a minister reaching out to an inmate, etc. When the inmate was released from jail she probably could have moved forward if her mother would have acknolwedged this whole incident.
great movie!!!!!!!!!!!!! very inspirational.... Shows how a young woman who was abused as and child and her innocence stolen from her how this shaped her life and how a violent act turn it around. the downward spiral started with a violent act and ended with one
