Harlem Rose O’Brannan is a biracial child, being raised by a single mother in Bronx, New York in the 1950’s.  The ideas instilled in Harlem by her mother were to get a good education, work hard for what you want in life, to be an honest person and to be proud of who you are.  Above all else, her mother never wanted her to give up her dream of becoming a doctor.  Harlem prayed for her and her mother to be able to leave the projects one day and to be away from the gang violence and random shootings.  Harlem’s prayer got answered, but it wasn’t the answer she prayed for. Because of the compassion and acceptance of a nun and a New York City Police Officer, she was saved and escaped the foster care system.  Harlem’s grandfather, whom neither she nor he ever knew each other even existed, was later found.  Harlem went to live with her grandfather in Kolter, West Virginia.  There were several challenges for her to face in this segregated town, but she accepted them with dignity and self-respect.

Bigotry, brutality, murder and love are the common threads that formed an alliance between three unique women in the small town of Harmony, North Carolina. The town is nestled in the foothills of Blackheart Mountain and held quite a few secrets during the 1940's. Sady Milsap: Strong, independent, hardworking and caring. Sady thought love died when her husband did. A kidnapping and perseverance brought Sady to Baltimore, Maryland where she meets Detective Alec Karastaupolis of the Baltimore City Police Department and her life starts to change against her antiquated frame of mind. Eva Prestel: Fragile, meek, scared and dependent. Eva lives a life of abuse. She is not the only one that is mistreated. Her son and daughter are also the targets for abuse and molestation by her bully of a husband, Roby. Her decision to leave the abuse is over-showed by the fear that her husband has infused in her mind. Willow Moone: Fearless, crafty, stubborn with a heart of gold. Willow stands up for the underdog because she and her family were the underdog for so many years. The tragedy in her lifetime gives her the strength to fight for what she believes is the right way to treat others and live your life.
