Ida has never been close to her mother, Mavis, but she is a little too close to Mavis’s husband, the less-than-godly preacher of First Presbyterian Church. When Ida gives birth to a baby boy, she claims the preacher is the baby’s father.
After Ida is convicted of negligent homicide and goes to prison, Mavis finds herself faced with the task of raising Ida’s six-year-old daughter, Tia. Mavis barely knows her grandchild, and must find a way to form a bond while she’s still struggling with her husband’s betrayal.
Tia has already spent time with an abusive foster parent, and now must learn to survive with her emotionally distant grandmother.
Yesterday’s Eyes is an inspirational story that exposes the journey traveled by three generations of women who must come to terms with the past and learn how to forgive one another if there is any hope of healing.
Will the lost be found? The broken healed? The guilty redeemed? And can three generations of emotional bondage finally be set free?
