Faith Brown is a poor colored girl from Elizabeth City, North Carolina and the oldest of six small children. And In the winter of 1948, a helpless seven-year-old, watches intently from the front room window as her 26-year-old mother, Matty, walks swiftly away, into the unforgiving darkness. And now that Matty has made her escape, the old blue house on Butler lane, will never be the same. Faith's wake-up call to the harsh realities of her existence arrives without warning. However, her tears, trials, and tribulations, will soon cover a multitude of miles and pain. Why did her mommy leave? Will she now be a motherless child? Was it her daddy's fault? Who's going to protect her and her siblings from the shadows of the night? Faith's desire to find out why, is a seed that will eventually grow in multiple directions. The remedy to her plight may reveal itself in time but the cost of uncovering her truth will not be free. The 1960's arrive and Faith's courage and willingness to fight will soon lead her beyond the city limits of her small town. Her travels to the north will be filled with both smiles and cries. Along the way, Faith's metamorphosis will happen gradually. But will it ever settle her restless soul? And as she struggles to carry her cross beyond the finish line, she will encounter a number of compelling characters. As the decades of the 70's, 80's, and 90's rapidly expire, Faith's life in the north will offer its share of adversity. Her experiences with poverty, violence, sex, happiness, heartbreak and love, will forever shape her view of the world. Faith's wheel of misfortune will spin at its own wretched pace. And In the end, Faith's determination to trek out of the darkness will underscore an authentic display of internal fortitude and survival.
