The film is a unique and compelling documentary about the heart and sheer determination of a single mother, Carrie Ponder, who overcame, poverty, spousal abuse, homelessness and gang violence to successfully raise eight children in the tough inner city of Chicago and guide each of them to the best educational institutions in America. Her stunning, and at times humorous, story is told through the words of her children, friends, admirers and Mother Ponder, herself, as they all come to grips with Carrie's final debilitating battle with lung cancer. It is the ultimate story of triumph and love; a reality tale of one woman's philosophy about life and her dedication to her family and community. This is truly a life-changing experience.
