Overview

RIVERS TO CROSS

 

The gang leader demands the first pick of the young girls in the community. Your daughter is getting close to that age. What would you do? This is Marcia's dilemma.

You live in the upscale part of town, and everyone swears that you have the perfect life. But you've been suffering silently at the hands of an abusive husband. What would you do? This is Renee's predicament.

 

Two women.  Two very different lives…

 

Join their journeys of discovery as they each pave the path to their survival.

 

Marcia has been living in the Jamaican ghetto since moving from the country to Kingston, but she's never been so desperate to get out as she is now.  The mother of a fourteen-year-old boy and an eleven-year-old girl, she knows what can happen, raising children in this volatile and violent environment.  Anxious to leave the garrison community before her children are caught in the stranglehold of this vicious society, she decides to put her quiet nature behind her, take matters in hand, and cross that river, regardless of the consequences.

 

Renee knows there's many a woman who would give an arm and a leg to have the life of privilege that she enjoys.  But at what price?   The victim of abuse, Renee must find the strength within herself to face her foe and create a life that's worth living.  And then, in the middle of it all, she finds a new…and extremely important…reason to be a true champion.

 

Marcia and Renee - learn from their stories of determination as they deal with their life struggles…their 'rivers to cross'.
