Susan, reluctant and sullen, is forced to light Sabbath candles at her grandparent’s house. She then has to listen as her grandmother speaks to her of ancestors, including the courageous woman she is named for. Her interest in the people in the sepia pictures she’s shown blossoms. Gradually the lighting of Sabbath candles grows from a chore to a symbol of Sabbath, an honoring of her heritage.
She carries this heritage with her through the tumultuous 1960s and a marriage that fails. Forgotten for a while, Susan finds it again after her mother’s death.
Years later her teenage granddaughter, reluctant and sullen, will be forced to learn from Susan the heritage and tradition of her family.
