A novel with African American and Christian themes. A young woman in rural Mississippi in the year 1919 is forced to leave her family and community. She goes to stay with an aunt who runs a Christian mission in Chicago. Her faith has been tested and almost unraveled due to actions of racial bigotry and hate. Her life is turned around in Chicago.

Ms. Foster's skilfully told tale of a young girl in 1919 Mississippi whose whole life is suddenly turned upside down. She must then leave everything she has known and loved. The book vividly shows the ugliness of hate and prejudice and its consequences. Ms. Foster is very gifted writer who makes the reader feel as if they are a part of the story. (
