Set in the summer of 1995, the story follows ten-year-old Joan, her mother, and her younger sister as they flee her father’s explosive temper and seek refuge at her mother’s ancestral home in Memphis. The house, built by Joan’s grandfather in the historic Black neighborhood of Douglass, carries a tragic history: he was lynched days after becoming the first Black detective in the city.
As Joan grows up, she finds solace in her artwork, painting portraits of the community. Her enigmatic neighbor, Miss Dawn, shares stories about curses and helps Joan see how her passion, imagination, and relentless hope continue a long matrilineal tradition.
