Synopsis by Hal Erickson
While researching her family "roots" with the help of Jason (Jon Walmsley), Verdie Foster (Lynn Hamilton) comes across a slave ornament that had been worn by her grandfather. This artifact leads Verdie to a disturbing visit with a descendant of her grandfather's white owner. Elsewhere, 12-year-old Elizabeth (Kami Cotler) tries to impress the solider to whom she has been writing by claiming to be sixteen--and mailing him a picture of her older sister Erin (Mary Elizabeth McDonough).
