Storyline:
Meet a strong-willed mother and her children: Sarah Jean, the daughter, and Matthew, the son. They figure in a story that explores age-old, classic conflicts: Mother versus daughter and society versus the soul. Mama is steadfast about how she feels Sara Jean, age 15, should live her life. Over the course of five years Sara Jean struggles to find the courage to confront her mother. Oddly, as she embarks on a journey of the heart, Sara Jean finds strength through the prodding of a precocious five year old little girl, Scarlette. Emboldened by their mutual bond they proceed to face their mothers together, and Sara Jean finally dares to speak her truths. Will it reap the reward she so desperately seeks?Written by Reeling Spirit
