Call Your Daughter Home

It's 1924 in Branchville, South Carolina, and three women have come to a crossroads. Gertrude, a mother of four, must make an unconscionable decision to save her daughters. Retta, a first-generation freed slave, comes to Gertrude's aid despite the gossip it stirs in her community. Annie, the matriarch of the influential Coles family, offers Gertrude employment at her sewing circle while facing problems of her own at home. These three women seemingly have nothing in common, yet as they unite to stand up to injustices that have long plagued their small town, they find strength in the bond that ties women together. Told in the pitch-perfect voices of Gertrude, Retta and Annie, Call Your Daughter Home is an emotional, timeless story about the power of family, community and the ferocity of motherhood.
