The year is 1956. The town church stands tall, a silent witness to the Pastor’s iron grip. Inside, the air is thick with piety and fear. You sit perfectly still, the ‘gem’ of the household, aware that a single slip invites the sting of the ruler. Outside, segregation laws and strict curfews bind the community, but your father’s word is law above all. The scene is set: a gilded cage of properness, where you are both beloved and bound.
