Eighty-nine-year-old Isabelle McAllister has a big
favor to ask her hairdresser, Dorrie. She wants the black single mother to drop
everything and drive her from Texas to a funeral in Ohio tomorrow. Dorrie,
fleeing problems of her own and curious about Isabelle's past, agrees, not
knowing it will be a journey that changes both their lives. Isabelle confesses
that, as a teen in 1930s Kentucky, she fell in love with Robert Prewitt, a
would-be doctor and the black son of her family's housekeeper in a town where
blacks weren't allowed after dark. The tale of their forbidden relationship and
its tragic consequences just might help Dorrie find her own way.
