Ella Pruitt

1969. A brutal murder in an all black town and a pregnant thirteen year old girl at the center of it all. Years later, the girl- now a woman of forty-nine- struggles with the weight of guilt and the pursuit of retribution by the ghost of the young man who was murdered. The guilt with which Ella struggles affects those around her: her son, now a troubled man of thirty-six and the man she eventually marries, a prominent minister.
