Growing up in the Kentucky mountains in the early 1900's, Jeb Fry doesn't have much to call her own except unwavering ambition to get ahead. Grueling hard work, poverty and loose chickens running around the house are all the motivation she needs. With a mother who lives in a fantasy world, a crippled father, and too many little brothers and sisters to feed, Jeb gets resourceful to get what she needs. Throughout her life, no amount of scheming is out of the question. If she doesn't stand up for herself, others will steal what little she's able to grasp onto. A small whisper inside always questions her tactics, but she's able to stuff it down and live as she pleases. That is until she finds herself looking back at a lifetime of terrible choices that finally catch up to her. She'd always heard God can be that forgiving, but is it possible to be that merciful?
