Clear Skies in the Delta chronicles the Sandifers as they depart from the sunshine and innocence of the Money Road. Neeyla the main character is coming of age with a baby girl in tow. She learns not only survival and independence as she and her siblings adjust to their new way of life in Greenwood, but she also learns hard lessons about life and love as well. Neeyla,with the aid of the family’s matriarch, her mother Carrie, adapts to life in the Mississippi Delta as they take up residence around various places in town.
