"She'll Find Her Way Home"
(A love story of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, in two acts for all audiences)
Author: Valetta Anderson
Synopsis: The only child of a wealthy though deceased Mississippi slaveholder, Martha Robb views her coming of age with the expectations of adolescent longings and the seemingly unending horizons promised by the victorious Union Army and her quadroon complexion. She and her lifelong and as fair complexioned friend, Thomas, could forge new lives for themselves, lives without barriers… if they could only get past her mother. But Gussie will not be swayed. Isaiah Montgomery, Vicksburg's newest, wealthiest, coal-black complexioned store owner, is more than welcome to come courting her daughter. "She'll Find Her Way Home" is a fictionalized account of the courtship of Martha and Isaiah Montgomery, the historical founders of the African-American town of Mound Bayou, Mississippi.
