Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a
young executive  and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle
into the routine of their life together  they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could
have imagined. Roy is arrested and sentenced to twelve years for a crime Celestial knows he
didn't commit. Though fiercely independent  Celestial finds herself bereft and unmoored  taking
comfort in Andre  her childhood friend  and best man at their wedding. As Roy's time in prison
passes  she struggles to hold on to the love that has been her centre. When his conviction is
suddenly overturned  he returns to Atlanta ready to resume their life together.     This
stirring love story is a profoundly insightful look into the hearts and minds of three people
who are at once bound and separated by forces beyond their control. An American Marriage is a
masterpiece of storytelling  an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon
with the past while moving forward - with hope and pain - into the future.
