Synopsis "Weathered Souls"
Walking on the thin tightrope of life or death, Sonia Harris must make an eternal decision of trusting God when her back is against the wall, or end her own broken life and leave this world a shattered soul. The beacon of light in her life has all but burned out as a roster of unforeseen tragedies invade her simple life, while the iron walls of despair are closing in on her. But the thirty-two-year-old Midwestern newspaper reporter's life hasn't always been troubled. With a demanding yet fulfilling career, a supportive tight knit family and a passionate ten year marriage to her college sweetheart, Gaelin Harris, Sonia believes her life couldn't get any better, until she learns that she's pregnant for the third time after two heart crushing miscarriages. A brand new year is getting off to a good start for Sonia, with endless possibilities in sight. But her perfect world is sliced in two after a sudden job loss, a scandalous affair, and an untimely death of a loved one that slowly unspool her existence. Her flesh is weak to her inescapable turmoil and she relies on alcohol and gambling to pacify her pain, until she discovers a more profitable venture in the perilous realm of prostitution to satisfy her need for fast cash. But her newfound career comes with a dangerous price, which sets the stage for suicidal thoughts to make a grand entrance and coerce her into attempting to take her own life. But a twist of fate spares Sonia from the clutches of death, and introduces her to a Southern stranger who enters her life when she didn't realize that she needed a friend. Annie Fowler, a ginger haired, warm hearted woman, befriends Sonia at the worst time in Sonia's life, but the two women quickly form an extraordinary friendship that unearths shocking secrets of Annie's past. The two tormented souls share a common bond of life disappointments, but only one will lead the other back to God.
