Magdala

Forced from home by circumstances beyond her control, beautiful young Magdala finds herself tasked with the care of a widower’s infant and boarding house kitchen. Driven by a survivor’s instinct, she demands a dead-bolted door to her quarters, securing a place of safety where she settles into a restful routine of heating bottles and changing diapers that allows time for reading, reflection, and healing. The sweet comfort of domestic routine is punctuated by a grim repetition of indignities, abuses, and downright horrors – all of which Magdala strives to overcome.
