Flora's story begins amid the racial strife of the American south in the early 1900's. After losing her husband, Flora boldly heads north to make a fresh start. There she and her children are soon caught up in the struggles of the Great Depression, two devastating world wars and the chaos of the Civil Rights and Black Panther movements. On their generations-long quest for justice and identity in modern America, the only constant is Flora's unconditional love - a love that binds her beloved family with the one bond that can never be broken.
