On the day OPAL was born, fate had already determined her destiny. A destiny fraught with abandonment, bondage, servitude, and reward.

You see, this was still "The Great Depression," and the screen door her family was shivering and sweltering behind was that same old door attached to the same old "Sharecropper Shanty" they'd started out in. But for Opal, the decision to head to California during those difficult days or stay and 'tough things out,' was what we call nowadays: 'a no-brainer.' Some refer to it as 'frontier spirit,' or 'the will to go on.' Whatever you choose to label it; in her case—those principles were simply the foundation on which she chose to live out her life. Then, after having whisked away all those "Dust Bowl" gales - she began to pay all that survivor's grit forward. Time after time through the years; into decades - she answered the call to serve others. Never mind their beliefs or their station in life, so long as the end result was to benefit those who were suffering the most.

"OPAL: Spirit of a Woman" is the story of Mary Opal Fetters/George; a courageous woman who lost her mother to childbirth at the tender age of seven, was sold into bondage by a father who no longer wished to care for her, and forced into child labor in another state for many years. In spite of all the odds stacked against her—she championed a legacy of grace.

A powerful testament to the indomitable human spirit that transforms a painful personal history into a universal story of triumph, grace, and the capacity to create meaning from suffering. Leggere Loft - 5 stars
