Los Angeles, 1948. When Hosanna Clark, recently arrived from the farm fields of Texas befriends Holocaust survivor Gilda Rosenstein, she opens the door to a new life for both of them. Using Gilda's knowledge of cosmetics and Hosanna's energy and determination, they go into business together and become dear friends. Sweeping across fifty years of African-American history, What You Owe Me is a tale of bitter betrayal, righteous outrage, unpaid debts and thwarted love. But ultimately, it is a wise and moving story of healing reconciliation.
