Gutmann has no recollections from before , when she was seven and she and her two sisters came to live with family in New York City.

Telling her story in letters, articles, and speaking engagements, Gutmann begins to regain the self she thought was lost to the past.

Her earliest memories are shaped by Aunt Gerdy and Daddy Sam, the couple who takes her in. Sam dotes on her, but Gerdy treats her cruelly.

Gutmann grows up fearful of Gerdy. As a young adult, she searches for love and acceptance in a series of misbegotten love affairs, until one man, Milton, gives her support.
