Can provocative art still honor the divine? Is suffering a prerequisite for achieving greatness? Can illness be seen as a gift? In 1950, at the age of twenty-four, writer Flannery O’Connor returns to her mother Regina’s home in Georgia after being diagnosed with lupus. Confronted with the same illness that claimed her father’s life during her childhood, she is determined to establish herself as a distinguished author. This personal turmoil propels her into an intense and imaginative journey of faith and belief.
