Amelia's great-grandmother, Lottie, gifts her with the diary she kept during her teen years, during the 1950s and urges Amelia, a journalist, to print the diary. The hope is in printing the words, young girls and women will find encouragement, and, perhaps, the world may pause and realize the segregation of the 1950s repeats itself present day when anyone is considered lesser than. Amelia is compelled to know the details of life after the diary entries ended. She is granted an audience with great-grandmother Lottie, and we learn the rest of the story. For the open-minded reader. Love is love. As first stated by preacher John Bradford in the sixteenth century 'There but for the grace of God go I."
