Synopsis

Natassa seems to have it all - a devoted husband with a good income, beautiful children, a faithful best friend - but it only takes one night for her world to crumble, catapulting her into a journey of trauma and healing, old pressures, and new friendships. Will she learn to stand her ground, or will she always live in someone else’s shadow? DeAndre longs to break free from the neighborhood that keeps dragging him down, but the streets are made of quicksand. Dreams can hardly take flight there, even if he paints them wings. And when he does the unthinkable, could mercy ever be a possibility? In the 1800s, a mulatto enslaved girl is torn from her mother and left to figure out who she is on her own. Through her time as a house slave in Tennessee and Kentucky, Mercy grapples with her deep ache for her mama, and her understanding of black and white. Which is more important to her? Freedom or loyalty?
