She had no reason to expect the worst. When tragedy strikes, can this mother of five make a heartrending choice to save her children?
Jamaica, the 1970s. Murna Moreland thrived on the love of her family. A happy homemaker, she cared for a bustling household while her beloved husband of sixteen years worked hard as the sole provider. But she found her security and joy snatched away by a fatal accident, leaving her a grieving widow.
Deprived of a breadwinner, the dedicated woman frantically searched for a way to take care of her kids. And with zero local opportunities, she turned to the only option available despite its huge catch… temporarily saying goodbye to her babies while she pursued a better future for them in America.
Would Murna’s sacrifice be their lifeline or the disaster that separated them forever?
In this story of courage and resilience, the youngest daughter shares the powerful pilgrimage undertaken by her family’s matriarch to secure a different destiny for them all. And for those also faced with trauma, this light of hope blazes through the clouds to champion the strength of self-determination and reveal ultimate triumph.
