Finding Her Voice
"Finding your voice is always the right choice."
Lily is an academically brilliant girl from a poor district in NYC who lives with her unavailable single mother and chronically ill younger sister Winona. Before going off to college, Lily gets the opportunity to win a scholarship which will secure her the key to get out of the hard life she has always known. Only problem: In order to compete for the scholarship, Lily must convince the admissions committee with a speech and...Lily has a severe stutter. As she grapples with balancing the stress of home life and securing her future, Lily embarks on a journey to discover who she really is and what she will do to help those she loves the most.
