In this third episode of Season 3 of *Backtrack*, Jean Woodall tells a story about falling in love after moving to New York City as a young woman. When that relationship ends in heartbreak, Jean discovers something unexpected in the middle of her grief. The little girl who had learned to keep her feelings tightly inside realizes just how deeply she is capable of feeling, and finally recognizes herself as a passionate woman.
