Heather's Journey
Nineteen-year-old Heather Randolph dreams of going elsewhere, and she can't be still in the midst of an unsteady 1930 United States. Residing in her beloved hometown of Sterling, Illinois, Heather desires to go to her family roots in Savannah, Georgia. An abrupt tragedy misaligns her dreams, and she's stuck in the middle of a handsome and debonair Puerto Rican bootlegger and her sassy and loud 12-year-old sister, all while trying to escape the grips of an abusive mother and the law. See and fall in love with 1930; it's so much life -- the Depression, the Prohibition, racism, romance, and the lingering aftermaths of World War I, all within the eyes of Heather Randolph.
