At this event, we'll present "A House Full of Flies" by WillieAnn Gissendanner.

Synopsis: Easter Morning. Early 1990's. Macon, Georgia area. Savannah and her son, Prayer, return home after home attending Sunrise Easter service at Church and are notified that her little grandson, Desmond, has been in a drowning accident.
