Set in Baltimore, Jubi Stone tells the story of nineteen-year-old Jubilee, a long-awaited gift to her now aging parents, James and Esther Stone. By the time she reaches her teens, however, Jubi is on a downward spiral of drug abuse and prostitution. Esther Stone's only hold on her child -- and the only road to this family's healing -- is prayer. When Jubi finds herself at the altar of the Forest Unity Church of Baltimore, time is running out for Jubi and her parents.Yvonne Medley is a features writer and photographer and the author of God in Wingtip Shoes. Recorded On: Wednesday, November 13, 2013
