- Summary:
- Based on a true story, A House Divided tells the emotionally harrowing tale of a mother's fight to retain custody of her daughter amid horrifying accusations of mother-daughter incest. Searching for the truth behind these accusations, while reconstructing this sordid tale from case interviews, trial transcripts, police reports, and other documentary sources, the authors find in this unusual case an ideal springboard for a serious consideration of the legal and psychological issues underlying the assessment and prosecution of mother-daughter incest.
