Daring, dangerous and sometimes hilarious adventures, Theodora Davis, a minister’s daughter, in the height of the Depression and her best friend, Glorybe, are determined to make money to put food on the table. Glorybe’s father is ill and might lose his job or even die. Theodora has her first serious crush on him as she comes of age. The story occurs in the backdrop of racial tensions, which affects Theodora’s Colored friend, Jeremiah Johnson, who worked in the yard of the murdered man. Was he the murderer? Tension also rises between Theodora’s mother and father. Her mother is bombshell of an activist, unheard of in those days, to give “Colored” people equal rights. Her father believes the only way to bring about change is to change peoples’ hearts through the spirit of God. He is frightened that her mother’s actions are endangering the very people she so fervently wants to help. This conflict is resolved through a startling act at the end by Theodora’s father, an act that is against his moral precepts and against the law.
