Description

In the midst of the turbulent 1940's a young black couple find their future goals, livelihoods and destinies meet in an unexpected way, on the streets of Bessemer, Alabama. However, they must first confront the very tangible fears of the Jim Crow south, the Great Depression and their nation poised on the brink of World War II, to realize what they seek. While on this journey, they find that courage will come from the legacy of their families, support of friends and a strong faith in God. This courage allows them to find love by winning a triple victory over fear: abroad, at home and within themselves! This historical fiction drama is a story of how family and relationships help to develop a strong faith in God. It is more than a romance, it is an inspirational, feel good story with a touch of humor; of how so many African American's created a path for their future generations with faith, grit and commitment in order to succeed and overcome life's many challenges.
