The Great Depression and WWII were difficult and challenging years for so many. Mix that drama with the trauma of a horribly dysfunctional family, and you had the makings of utter disaster and failure. War Torn: Mending of a Family, however, tells the saga of one special family through the eyes and words of a disenfranchised member who struggled her entire youth to maintain her identity and relationship with her unforsaken family of siblings and survive the violent onslaught of an angry, contemptable and denying father.
