The early 90s in Southern Louisiana is no place for a dark-skinned, nappy-headed, chubby girl, but Jasmine is determined to defy the odds. Despite being forced to survive living house to house, suffering multiple sexual assaults, and not recognizing love because she's never experienced it, she is determined to find peace. She refuses to allow her environment to mold her or break her. Although picking blackberries with her grandfather, Paw Paw Wallace, is something she loathes, ironically, it will become the one thing that saves her life; she just has to face scrutiny, rumors, tragedy, and loss first. Will she fold in the face of uncertainty, or will she look it in its face and make it behave?
