What comes to mind when you hear the 1920s? Flappers? Jazz? Speakeasies? Bobbed haircuts? Cloche hats? Roaring Twenties? In 1926, this answer wasn't so simple for a Christian school teacher. A young, na ve Emma Ehlke left her family's Wisconsin farm and took up a new teaching post at a parochial school in Racine. Excited by the prospect of leaving her dodgy rural life, she looked forward to experiencing life in the Jazz Age. Emma soon fell under the charms of her dashing neighbor Freddie, who offered to be Emma's guide to the exciting adventures ahead. Under his guidance, she experienced a life she'd only dreamed about. However, she didn't take into consideration her actions in light of her new career. Newly ordained and single minister, Pastor Neil Hannemann was left to deal with Emma's impetuous actions as she attempted to join the Jazz Age. He longed to take her under his wing, but not like Freddie He was forced to confront Emma about her na ve decisions and pointed out to her that a Christian's life in the Roaring Twenties should be totally different than how she was acting. Under his shepherding, Neil attempted to guide her home by the godly course. Emma found herself torn. Should she choose the novelties and excitement offered by Freddie, or the faithful path on which Pastor Neil wanted to lead her?
