Patricia Gets Ready (For A Date With The Man Who Used To Hit Her)

Patricia has spent a year crafting a kick ass speech while recovering from an abusive relationship. But when she bumps into her ex on the street, and accidentally agrees to dinner with him that night, she’s got some big decisions to make; what to wear? What to say? And whether or not to go?

Join Patricia as she gets ready for the date; tells stories of her past, how it has affected her present, and looks honestly at her future.
