Lottie Masters just buried her mother. She just got married, and she was recently elected the first female African-American senator in the state of Alabama since Reconstruction. If that's not
enough, the good-ole-boy machine has vowed to kill her to put a stop to the economic progress she� making in the rural, black community she returned home to serve. Her family betrays her, and
not even her hush-hush white benefactor can help her now; he's got his own demons. As her world spins out of orbit, Lottie is forced to exercise her faith and get her priorities straight. She
learns a beautiful lesson the hard way: Family is the people who love you . . . and there is no love like married love.
