"Life isn't easy for twenty-two-year-old Easter and her teenage sister, Anneth, who were left parentless as young children. While Easter, a devout Pentecostalist, finds solace in the powerful music of her church, Anneth seeks comfort in the rougher edges of life found in dancing, drinking, and fast living. Easter believes in tradition and is intent on rearing her wild young sister properly, but it's only a matter of time before a wedge is driven between them--threatening to undo their bond forever."-- from publisher.
