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.

Years have passed and the Piper family’s buried past begins to surface. The youngest sets out from Cape Breton toward New York City to learn more about her family’s secret past. Through the journey a passionate story of music, identity, and forbidden love, set against the vibrant nightlife of Harlem’s Jazz Age, comes to life.

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

This is the conclusion of Fall on Your Knees. See Part 1 here.
