TV drama This semester, three college freshmen decide it’s time to deviate from the paths previously laid out for them, in pursuit of discovering who they really are and the legacy they want to leave behind.

02 Mary or Me Writer · 35 pg. short story In late summer of 1930 in Bronzeville, Chicago, Luella “Lu” Mary Frost must decide whether to walk to the beat of her own drum and solidify her spot as a professional dancer, or trade her show-business dreams in for nursing school.
