The bills are piling up. Marcus is old enough to start asking questions about why his mother is in prison. And Naomi is beginning to realize that the story she was told about her mother's past may not be the whole story. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen she finds an old business ledger. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInside are names connected to the Broussard family, a respected Houston family whose beauty businesses have grown into one of the city's most successful Black-owned fortunes. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNaomi knows her mother once had a business relationship with the Broussards. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat she doesn't know is why it ended.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs she begins asking questions, Naomi discovers that her mother's history with the Broussards goes back decades. There was a business. There was money. There was a betrayal. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnd there are two very different versions of what happened.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe deeper Naomi digs, the more complicated her mother's story becomes. Odessa was wronged, but she also made choices of her own.
