A true story based on a broken life of a child, The Two Faces of Sharon brings you into her life of abuse, sorrow, and sadness. It gives you a glimpse of what life was like for her. It all started when she was eight years old. Her father started to drink and did not stop. His rage turned to violence. Things would never be the same again. His first act of rage was breaking her motherÂ’s back by bending her backwards over a sink. Sharon never forgot the crackling sound that it made. Even to this day, she sometimes still hears the crackling sound of those breaking bones. After that horrible incident, her father then turned on Sharon and her siblings. He did to them what a man does to a woman he loves. It was wrong, but he did it anyway. This was not enough for him, so he then started the beatings. The children tried to tell, but it fell upon deaf ears. You see, back then things were different; stuff like this was swept under the rug. No one wanted to get involved.
