During the early 1960s, a white 14 year old girl and her black nanny ran away from her mean father and found themselves living with three black sisters, one of whom was a nanny to the girl's mother. Blacks and whites living together was not a very acceptable thing to do then but the girl found love with these women that she never knew before. Her mother died when she was four.
