Iyanla travels to Birmingham, Alabama, to work with daughters Kim and Annette, whose relationship with their mother, Charlene, is at a breaking point. As little girls, the sisters felt their mother traded being a good parent for relationships with men who were often controlling and even abusive to them. Years later, unresolved issues from their painful past threaten to destroy Kim and Annette's relationship with their mother, who is broke, alone and dependent on their support. In an emotional process, Iyanla works to reopen the lines of communication between the three women and helps hold Charlene accountable for her parenting missteps, before it's too late.
