Amia Copeland was like any other recent college graduate having just landed her first great-paying job at one of the nation's most prestigious African American law firms. She was giddy with excitement about her future, feeling the power of being a young woman, and looking forward to putting her mark on the world.

Her heart stopped abruptly knowing that the sobbing on the other end meant that life - as she'd known it - would never be the same. So, at age twenty-six, Mia's faith was tested as she began what would become one of the biggest, most important battles of her life.

It did, however, lead her to cleverly concealed secrets and a trail of clues - all which led her to a suddenly unfamiliar place called home.
