Have you ever been on a rollercoaster of emotions and gripped your nervous system as a story drags you into a whirlwind of controversy and drama?

Beth Dutton engages in the same kind of vicious competition as her white male counterparts, thinking, speaking and acting like a white man. But her abortion at an early age—a scene that not only shook audiences but also boldly shed light on a dark and often unspoken chapter in American history.
