Synopsis

Kathleen Wooddell's creative writing class in Jacksonville, Florida, is a place where no holds are barred, where students learn to express long-suppressed feelings and trust that they will be heard and understood. When she asked her class to write about something they wanted to tell their parents, but found too difficult to talk about, she knew the result would be overwhelming. In front of an audience of invited guests that included parents and siblings, the students read their poems and letters, which are filled with emotion, fear, longing, rage and hope.
