Rebecca's Story

“REBECCA’S STORY,” tells the story, a young orphaned girl having to deal with an abusive grandmother.

On a beautiful day in the Caribbean city of Georgetown, Guyana, a young couple drop off their daughter Rebecca and her little brother Aaron with their Grandmother. With parting hugs and words of love, Rebecca retrieves her favorite book, not realizing it would be the last time she would see her parents alive.

Weeks later, their days are marred by their distressed Grandmother’s harsh words and rough hands. Rebecca yearns for an escape. She finds hope in the intervention of Lindsey, a young witness to Rebecca’s plight. He offers respite through an after school program.

Plagued by her own demons, her Grandmother dismisses his help. Undaunted, Rebecca soon discovers her Granny’s violent harshness and sharp tongue hide a troubling disability and desolate past. In a small but powerful gesture, Rebecca reaches out with an offer of her own, opening the door to better days for her new family.
