After Bernard Sparrow, the choir director at a church in Pacashau, Georgia, dies, Vi Rose Hill takes charge of the group and keeps to the traditional gospel style that Pastor Dale favors. G. G.

Vi Rose is raising two teenagers alone, Walter, who has Asperger syndrome, and Olivia, who chafes under her mother's rules. G.
