Sojourner Falls was in trouble...For two-hundred years, it has been a safe haven for Black-Americans looking to escape the ills of racism. The once lively town used to boast of joyous times and festive holidays, but after years of bad economic downturns and tourist declines, the town was going under...until a twist of fate and the love of the Ancestors, turned things around in the small town.
Now, almost two years later, the town is gearing up for its Juneteenth Celebration. It's been years since the residents of Sojourner Falls have been able to have their annual emancipation fest, and now, with all the young people returning home, there is no time like the present.
Willow "Willowshine" Tucker is finally going back home... with her troubles tagging along. She doesn't think things could get worse until she gets a phone call from her boss to let her know she's been fired, another phone call from her fiancé to end their engagement and relationship, a stalled rental, and of all things...a sourly old cow, show her that her bad day has only just begun.
Dr. Kamal Brookhaven never had any intentions of making Sojourner Falls his home, but a chance encounter changed all of that. Now, as luck would have it, he spots Willow stranded on the side of the road. In no time at all, the good doctor is smitten and sets out to make Willow his.
However, when the troubles Willow left behind follow her to Sojourner Falls, and not only threaten their happiness but also Willow's life, they must do all they can to make sure Willow and the town stay safe.
