Years later she learns of her daughter's dilemma, and struggles to help her daughter overcome the trauma she's been through. Her past experience assists in the aid of her daughter's recovery. Victoria attends college as an adult, and strives to make it in the southern state of South Carolina, a state once known as "a good ole boy state." Both she and her daughter are frightened when they become a target. But in the end, victory lies in fate, and fate usually comes with a price. Victoria's victory and fate comes with the ultimate price-death.
