There is nothing ordinary about the journey we take in life, or the people in it. A tale of starting over, and an unforgettable odyssey of healing.
How We Healed opens in September 1957, in the segregated Southern U.S. We witness the gripping tale of Drunetta Brown, a woman determined to break free from a life filled with struggles and heartbreak. Drunetta, a middle-aged black woman, burdened by shattered dreams and an alcoholic husband, decides to flee and leave it all behind for a fresh start in New York City with her children. There, she finds unexpected support from two women: Raycie, a talented bar singer, and Rose, a devoted church secretary. As Drunetta navigates the challenges of her new life, her friendships with Raycie and Rose provide the strength she needs to carve out her own path in a changing world. Fans of "The Color Purple" will find themselves drawn to this raw and emotional tale.
