Decades before Perdita Felicien became a World Champion hurdler, she carried her mother Catherine's dreams. In 1974, Catherine is pregnant with her second child and just scraping by in St. Lucia. She accepts an offer to go to Canada to become a nanny. Within a few years, she would find herself pregnant a third time - this time in her new country with no family to support her, and this time, with Perdita. Together, in the years to come, mother and daughter would experience racism, domestic abuse, and even homelessness, but Catherine's will would always pull them through.
