OVERVIEW
It’s been a long time since 1950s Hollywood starlet Lena Scott felt like she fit in anywhere. Abandoned by her birth mother as a newborn, then by her adoptive family after the death of her adoptive mother, Lena, once known as Abra, made a desperate decision trying to find real love, and now she must live with the consequences. Although she has quickly made a name for herself in Hollywood, fame has come with a high cost and Lena wonders if she will ever truly find home. But, as Lena discovers, God can work in every situation, bringing light into darkness and rebuilding bridges long since burned.
