Description
A small house in New Orleans, Louisiana (9th Ward), Desire Housing Project in the early 1990s is where you would find the Melbourne family, which is not your typical family but a close nit family who believes in supporting one another in life. The house is not very big but crowded with a vast amount of paraphernalia of a lifetime. God’s presence is throughout every wall, nail and screw. However, all is done with the one person whose foundation in God is evident, and that is Ms. Mia-Duke, who we all love to call Grahams because she is so sweet and reminds every one of their precious grandmother ... Maria is a smart-mouth teenager who will soon learn the importance of life, but it will take a serious issue with Raul that will turn the light on, but her favorite cousin comes to the rescue before her virginity is lost. Tulip the clean alcoholic has a problem that many cannot see from his attire but smell on his breath. He carries himself well but is slowly killing himself because of denial. Big Bo, recently released from prison, is called home to help in a family matter and when he is confronted with his past, the tears will roll—and possibly the heads. Mia-Duke (Grahams) is the centerpiece to the family, who loves her Lord but worries for her family. The ins and outs of life will be a challenge, and her God will be her guide to bring it all together.
