“Haunting, Profound, Indescribably Moving, High Drama, Spellbinding” - Frank Rich - NY Times

August, 1911. Daughters and sons of freed slaves wander into Pittsburgh. Isolated, having lost their songs, they arrive at a Black boardinghouse: a mysterious stranger with a dark history looking for his wife; a young musician seeking an unlikely chance; two women lost in their paths to respect and love. Proprietors Seth and Bertha Holly navigate their journeys and an eccentric clairvoyant leads them in powerful rituals of solace and salvation.
