What follows is a riveting first-person account of sexual assault for a decade at the hands of her father.

More than 30 years later, Ertl depicts the abuse she suffered at the urging of a Nevada detective who told her she had the unprecedented chance to explain why the secret is sometimes held for decades.

Hunted at night, Tracy develops a ritual of hunting for dandelions to wish on following the attacks. Tracy makes a pilgrimage to see Pope John Paul II in Rome to forgive her father for the past and move on with life. Four months later, while taking 911 calls, she learns the Easter bunny is still naked. This time he has assaulted Tracy's own daughter.
