Riassunto
La famiglia Ramona viveva il sogno americano a Napa Valley, California. Il 5 settembre del 1989, Holly Ramona, diciannovenne, si recò da una terapista per trattare la sua depressione e la sua bulimia, e lÌ, attraverso le parole della terapista, Marche Isabella, apprese che la bulimia, talvolta, è la conseguenza di un abuso sessuale subito nell’infanzia. Durante le sedute successive, gradualmente, Holly descrisse nei dettagli i ricordi orribili dei 12 anni di abuso che ella aveva subito da suo padre, Gary Ramona. Tali rivelazioni divisero la famiglia, conducendola a un sensazionale processo, e portarono all’attenzione del pubblico il concetto di ricordi rimossi. Gli accademici e i terapisti si confrontarono duramente sulle prove a favore e contro l’esistenza di tali memorie, e ancor oggi la questione non è risolta e il dibattito è molto acceso.
