Georgia's Hope

Just home from the Peace Corps in early 1966, Georgia Albright helps her mother at a church shelter for the homeless and meets a black family from Mexico. When they are later caught in an ice storm, only three children survive. Georgia invites them to live with her and her family in their comfortable, upper-middle-class white neighborhood. This triggers an instant backlash in their conservative, status-conscious community. Through the years, Georgia grows to become a dedicated civil rights professional, which is not without its perils, and romances, along the way.
