Some family secrets take more than one night to unravel.

Continue the journey of Ann-Marie MacDonald’s epic Canadian novel of family, faith, and buried history with the second part of Hannah Moscovitch and Alisa Palmer’s intimate adaptation.

In Part 2, years have passed and the Piper family’s buried past begins to surface. Driven by her need to understand the truth, Frances reinvents herself while the youngest sister, Lily, sets out from Cape Breton toward New York City, carrying the diary of her sister Kathleen.

Through the diary’s pages unfolds a passionate story of music, identity, and forbidden love set against the vibrant nightlife of Harlem’s Jazz Age. As Lily follows the diary’s clues, she searches for the people who knew Kathleen and the truth about her family’s secrets.

Spanning generations, the journey of Fall On Your Knees reveals a family history shaped by silence, survival, and the enduring power of love.

Featuring: Ryan Allen, Tess Benger, Janelle Cooper, Diane Flacks, Amir Haidar, Martin Happer, Samantha Hill, Trish Lindstrom, Cara Rebecca, Maryem Tollar, Amaka Umeh, Dakota Jamal Wellman, and Jenny L. Wright.
