Justine

THE SIN NOW SOLELY RESTED WITH HER, SHE REALIZED. IT WAS ALL HER FAULT. SHE WOULD WEAR THE LETTER ON HER CHEST FROM THAT DAY FORWARD. Sixteen is anything but sweet for Justine. She gives birth to a baby who is whisked away and sold by her father-in-law. For the next 16 years, she thinks of nothing but finding her child. Finally, gathering the courage, Justine leaves for good what she calls the Trinity of Hate: the father-in-law, his son, and the Holy Fundamentalist Baptist Church. Free spirit Blair helps a very sheltered and naive Justine maneuver an unknown world and search for her child. Evading the police, her husband, a posse of men from church, her father-in-law, and a blues band hell-bent on retribution for the death of their drummer, they arrive in the last known place where her child lived. The road to finding her son is fraught with self-preservation. Justine realizes that she is stronger than she knew. What she discovers would turn most away. She discovers that dreams don't always come true, that there is nothing more dangerous than men trying to keep their secrets secret, and that there is nothing more sickening when that man calls himself a man of God. Mournful and intense, Justine proves that a mother's love never wanes. It reveals man's darkness and asks if it is ever too late for forgiveness.
