Step into a world where fantasy and reality blend.
Penny Branch is a young, African American woman, unsure of her place in the world. She has been raised by her grandmother and stern aunt, knowing little about her mother, whom she has not seen since childhood, or her father who is never mentioned at all.
Penny’s life brightens when she finds a tiny, white baby in a negro cemetery – and decides to keep her!
