To begin a new and enriched life, Grace, a beautiful and strong woman, and her children immigrate to Great Britain from Africa. Many other immigrants in the area, most from the Gathering of Christian House Fellowship, befriend them and share amongst themselves their experiences in their new homeland. However, the one room apartment she rents fails to reflect even a remote beginning of her dream. Not long after they move, Grace loses her job and encounters a variety of increasingly difficult experiences, many of which are politically motivated. Might this country not provide the improved quality of life which she had hoped for her and her family? Despite the increased camaraderie with her new friends from Africa, Grace struggles to retain her once towering optimism. Will she and her family be forced to return to their native homeland? If they stay, will they be able to create the greatly improved life they desire? Will the laws of her adopted country work in her favor? Grace knows she must remain steadfast in her quest for a better life to fulfill the expectations she keeps for her and her children.
