Every 15 seconds, a woman in America is beaten by her husband
or boyfriend. Each year, a million-plus are left black and blue
by men who claim to love them. They are the lucky ones.
Every day, four of them die. Others live a lifetime with mental
and physical scars.
On April 9, 2001, in Houston, a brutal attack forced three generations
of women to face their family's legacy of violence.
Doris Tate, a grandmother, is trying to make amends for a decision
that haunts her family.
Angela Hudson, Tate's daughter, is recovering physically and
emotionally from the shocking assault by her estranged husband,
a man accused of tying her up, dousing her with gasoline and setting
her on fire.
And Angel Tate, Hudson's teen-age daughter, a witness of years
of abuse against her mother, is blossoming into a young woman
and helping to hold her family together.
