The date is 1919 a time of unrest and drastic change. For Alena though life in Mississippi is perfect, and she prays she will never leave her home. That prayer is shattered when she makes a horrible discovery a discovery that leads her to challenge all she believes. From a quiet country setting, Alena is catapulted to Chicago, the " city of broad shoulders". There amidst the misplaced love, and post war confusion this outspoken young woman struggles to find herself and the one true thing that will save her. This is a story of despair and hope, betrayal and forgiveness, bondage and freedom. It is a story with medicine for the heart and balm for the soul.
