    About this series

    It's 1968, and Nezzie Fergerson, a lonely cocktail waitress at Copper Pipe Lounge, finds herself in a new city with a new job and lofty aspirations to find peace and contentment. Nezzie meets the man of her dreams, Mathias Whaley, a hard-working steelworker; even though he seems to be perfect, her feelings of pain and self-doubt hold her back. The young independent loner moves from the past and into Mathias' waiting arms, only to find the road to love and healing is going to be a bumpy one. At the height of the Civil Rights Movement, things were tough for working-class residents of the Hill District in Pittsburgh, PA. Still, despite economic hardships and secrets from the past, Nezzie decides her heart has been captured by an alluring young steelworker with a tender spirit. Together they find themselves wading through the turmoil, uncertainties, and pressures of racism. As ugly scars heal, and the darkness is brought to the surface, Mathias sees his "good thing" is closer than ever before.

      Leaving was the only thing Mavis Butler could do after speaking words she refused to recant. The need to find a haven away from the soul-shattering poverty which threatened to destroy the very fabrication of her spirited disposition was uppermost on her mind. Despite her desire to stay in a place of familiarity, she finds the strength to escape, pack her bags and never look back.   Ed Proctor spent his life running away from his abusive father until one-afternoon shifts the very foundation of his existence, tearing him away from his solitary life and into the arms of Mavis.   Hidden secrets, deep scars, and forbidden tales of pain, torture, and shame enable both Mavis and Ed to leave the little town of Brewton, Alabama, to head up north to Pittsburgh, PA., a new realm of opportunities. With so much turmoil penetrating their hearts, this journey of love and completeness seems too good to be true. Will their love be enough for their survival?   Only time will tell.

      Nezzie Fergerson came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania looking for solace from her life of deprivation and poverty in the south. Arriving in Pittsburgh was an eye-opening experience. There she found that pushing through her painful past wasn't going to be as easy as she suspected. Nezzie was drawn to the nightlife and found comfort in slinging drinks in a local nightclub. A life of obscurity was the life she was looking for, at least that's what she thought.   Mathias Whaley was good-looking and soft-spoken. Spending his days hoisting steel in the steel city and his evenings sipping coke under the soft glow of lights the local nightclub offered. Where he runs into "His good thing." Mathias is a man of few words but one full of action. Acting on the pull of his heartstrings and the tug of the struggles occurring in the turbulent year 1960 might keep him from winning the heart of Nezzie Fergerson.   Will Nezzie surrender to the desires of her heart and let love take the wheel? Does Mathias have the fortitude to press on beyond the hurt and capture the woman who struggles to break free?   Only time will tell.
