Annie's Angel

Uptown, Chicago. Fall, 1963. In the brutal place known as "Hillbilly Land," the James Allen McCree family of Letcher County, Kentucky struggle to survive. It is in the hostile environment that 14-year-old Annie must come of age. When her mother passes on to her a folk belief in a guardian angel, Annie dares to hope that her family might come under his protection. However, a series of personal tragedies propels her on her own spiritual journey. Along the way she discovers more about who she is, experiences the power of first love, and learns a thing or two about so-called angels -- namely, that they often aren't what one expects and rarely look like angels at all!
