“It’s okay, honey. Daddy’s never going to hurt momma ever again.” Lisbeth's mother's icy words have put her in a new hell called Maycomb Academy.
For seven-year-old Lisbeth Parker, life as she knew it came to an abrupt end when she saw her mother clutching a heated, bloodied piece of firewood while standing over her father's bleeding corpse after a violent argument on the night of August seventeenth, 1973.
“It’s okay, honey. Daddy’s never going to hurt momma ever again,” she said before the police came and took Lisbeth away and arrested her mother for murder. Those words will continue to haunt as she is placed in Maycomb Academy, a correctional boarding school for girls in Massacre County, Alabama. She will remain here from 1973 to 1987.
As the years tread by, Lisbeth as she navigates her way through her altared life course through her memories as she reflects her losses, loves, triumphs, and everything she witnesses year after year to survive rise above the harsh hand that life has dealt to her. Can she survive or will she fall through the cracks and become a lost soul?
