In this fictional story, Ms. Nia Franklin, a black, public school American History teacher, has resolved to incorporate a unit on racial injustice and the struggle for civil rights as an inherent and inseparable part of each stage of American history. She finds herself at odds with School Board book bans within her classroom. She faces both termination from her position and blacklisting from the teaching profession. In addition, she commits to solving a hate crime which took place when she was a young teen- a crime that devastated both her and her family and shaped the course of her life. On both fronts, she is confronted by dark forces hell-bent upon utilizing intimidation, threats, and force to drive her out of the teaching profession, and ultimately, to drive her out of existence. But Ms. Franklin's courage runs deep, and she is unwilling to back down, give in, or step away in the face of threats. Consequently, a day of reckoning between the dark forces that would do her in, and "that little light of hers" which she allows to shine brightly, appears inescapable.
