On her 11th birthday, Phelia's childhood is brutally stolen from her by a white man. Not even her mother can protect her from white people, nor remove the sickening taste of shame. Phelia plots a series of escapes. After the rape, she attempts to join a minstrel show as an exotic dancer, astounding the male audience with her "special" skill, but the plan is quickly thwarted. At the age of 12, Phelia is a prostitute and a thief. At 14 she has quit school and spent time in jail, and by 16, she is an unwed mother. Then Phelia is swept into the momentum of the civil rights movement. Amazingly, she is encouraged and supported by a community of civil rights workers, friends and her "street family" to attend college.

The source material includes written and taped interviews, collections of letters and exchanges with past and present soldiers and accounts of each interviewer's own feelings about these interviews. Following performances, veterans and their family members have been inspired to step forward and continue the conversation. It is hoped that other communities will use this play as a catalyst to further story-sharing—and to remember.
