As she grows older\, Norma slowly comes to realize there is something her parents aren’t telling her. Unwilling to abandon her intuition\, she will spend decades trying to uncover this family secret. \nThe Berry Pickers is an intimate portrait of race\, love\, and loneliness–and the power of forgiveness.
