The story has the agony, pain, and suffering of racial strife throughout generations in South Georgia and the Deep South. Fannie Mae's father was abducted by the Ku Klux Klan in 1927, never to be seen again. The book however has a happy ending based on acceptance, redemption, love, and forgiveness. The book also includes a collection of southern-style comfort food recipes, "Miss Fannie Mae's Sunday Supper Cookbook" and "The New Ebenezer First Missionary Baptist Church Women's Auxiliary Cookbook."
