ABOUT THE SHOW
Two sisters and their recently widowed father struggle to find their place in the world while holding tight to the love they have for each other.
Adrift in Brooklyn during the racially charged 1950s, two teenage sisters Ernestine and Ermina live with their devout, recently widowed father, Godfrey, who follows the teachings of spiritual leader Father Divine.
Almost to the point of obsession, Godfrey’s staunch beliefs cause his girls to heal their wounds with Hollywood films, daydreams, and lots of cookies.
Their humdrum lives are turned upside down with the arrival of their vivacious Aunt Lily, who brings with her a few bad habits and a taste for rebellion.
When Godfrey makes a shocking decision that involves a German woman named Gerte, can the family find new meaning in what makes a home?
