This multi-generational story spanning the years 1848 - 1920 is thought-provoking, inspiring, and entertaining. Twenty year old Harriet Sherwood, finding herself in jail on a moonshine rap, has time to examine the legacy which has brought her here. She reflects on her great-grandmother's fight against slavery, her grandmother's crusade against demon rum, and her mother's struggle for women's suffrage. She admires the faith, forbearance, and independence of her female precedents and determines to make her own mark in the world.
"Life has no guarantees. "Live each day as if it were a gift from God."
