Summary

Cynthia James, is just a naïve and compliant little girl growing up in Texas when one day her life is drastically altered when she and her two siblings are abruptly relocated from their peaceful life and thrown into a tumultuous existence on the Southside of Chicago. Forced to live with relatives who inflict incomprehensible abuses upon them, Cynthia finds God in the midst of the turmoil and tries to rely on her faith to keep her sane. But never-ending adversity can chip away at faith. When her grandmother dies when she is 15-years-old, she sets upon a journey to find the reasons for the abuse. Regina James, the oldest of her siblings, endures the same abuses as Cynthia. Tough, strong-minded, and wise beyond her years, Regina is unrelenting when it comes to her and her siblings' survival. But because she sometimes reacts without considering the consequences, these traits often work against her. Can Cynthia and Regina cope with situations beyond their control, take charge of their own lives and rise above their challenges?
