Sophie was sure she would never carry a baby to term. After suffering 2 heartbreaking miscarriages, she began to have nightmares, hearing the voices of her two lost babies. "We're OK Mom."
This nearly drove her to distraction. She became obsessive trying to find the answer as to where the souls of those two babies ended up. So much so, she decided to go back to school and study for a master's degree in religion. During this time she successfully had a son and then a daughter. The voices stopped and she delved into teaching with a passion. Her husband, Alex, was sure she was still obsessed because she was having her students try to answer the question. Where do souls go of unborn children?
Time passed and her children grew up. And Alex thought she was over all of this.

For more than three decades Jimmy McPhail has listened with an ear of disbelief as minority victims and witnesses shared their stories. While the plot and the characters changed, the theme always remained the same. Themes of injustice, hatred and discrimination were the three most reoccurring themes. From verbal and physical abuse, workplace discrimination and even police brutality, the residents of LaGrange have seen it all. Some have been threatened, others beaten, and a few killed. For far too many years, these people have been the recipients of unfair and unjust treatment. Many of them are now dead and gone, yet their stories live on. The Streets of LaGrange is a compilation of their delicate and intricately woven stories.
