After moving north from the Deep South at the turn of the 20th century, the Sills family finds prejudice waiting for them in the small Midwestern town of Bethel Springs, as seen through the eyes of the family's young daughter, Lena. In a town where the rules of segregation apply to all manner of daily life, do the values of empathy, forgiveness, and friendship stand a chance?
