Thurs. November 4
What young girl growing up in a small town doesn't dream of something bigger, especially a preachers daughter? Sometimes you have to return to the place where you began, to arrive at the place where you belong. It’s the early 1970s. The town of Ringgold, Georgia, has a population of 1,923, one traffic light, one Dairy Queen, and one Catherine Grace Cline.
The daughter of Ringgold’s third-generation Baptist preacher, Catherine Grace is quick-witted, more than a little stubborn, and dying to escape her small-town life. Every Saturday afternoon, she sits at the Dairy Queen, eating Dilly Bars, dreaming big, and plotting her getaway to the big city of Atlanta. Finally, at the age of 18 and with the help of a family friend, she moves to Atlanta to make her dreams come true. Yes, Catherine Grace packed her bags, leaving her family and the boy she loves to claim the life she’s always imagined.
But before things have even begun to get off the ground in Atlanta, a horrible tragedy brings her back home to find that her preacher father had secrets that could tear her world apart As a series of extraordinary events alters her perspective and sweeping changes come to Ringgold itself, Catherine Grace begins to wonder if her place in the world may actually be, against all odds, right where she began.
