You Never Know

Shana, a young Black girl living in 1970s Los Angeles, and her loving brothers Billy, Chris, and Orlando find that life under the roof of an oppressive religious father has grown too arduous to bear. She seeks solace in the Bible, but not even His word can save her from the clothesline rope that her father uses to enforce his strict discipline. Her father's demands take Shana, Billy, and Chris from their cul-de-sac neighborhood to the back alley of digging through the dang-gone dumpster. A simple tumble of cardboard stacks lands Shana into a violent confrontation with her father; her only salvation is Billy's Seamless Escape Plan. As hope, joy, and God's love begins to shine within Shana once again, a tragedy on January 17th, 1976, throws her into her cloudiest days of mind and memory.
