Along the way, the police stop her believing she may have stolen her car. When that is cleared up and she is freed, Shirley is about to continue her journey when a white teen Windi, with whom she shared a cell, asks for a ride to Tyler, Texas. Shirley agrees though she was not planning to go to Tyler despite her beloved Mother Johnson living there. In Tyler, as she heals through embracing the Lord and the love of Mother Johnson, Shirley meets her high school prom beau Tony Taylor.
