Mommy, Why Do You Hate Me?

Annie has spent her life as the object of her mother Maggie's resentment, blamed and punished for things no child could be responsible for. When Maggie marries John, a gentle man who embraces Annie as his own daughter, Annie hopes for relief, but the new home only deepens her danger. Away from John's eyes, Maggie arranges staged mishaps, bends the facts, and penalizes every kind moment Annie shares with her stepfather, all while presenting a flawless face to the world. As John begins to notice more than he should, Annie's window to escape her mother's escalating cruelty grows smaller.
