Following a life-altering accident that leaves sixteen-year-old Sandra Bellingham permanently injured and overcome with grief, she is confined to her bedroom. It seems like a lifeline when a friendly neighbour offers to help; it's an opportunity to be seen, encouraged, and possibly even loved.
Sandra's relationship with Pete, a considerably older man who is kind and giving in ways Sandra's broken world has never experienced, grows steadily as her world slowly starts to grow again. What starts out as neighbourly compassion develops into an unusual friendship that offers love, safety, and escape - but at what price?
Through a lens that combines romance, dependency, and power, The Sandra Tales follows a young woman's path from trauma to what she perceives to be recovery. A story that raises issues of freedom, permission, and the boundaries between devotion and dominance.
