Driving Miss Daisy

Set in Atlanta between 1948 and 1973, Driving Miss Daisy chronicles the triumph of hope and understanding over cultural prejudice. Daisy Werthan, a stubborn, independent Jewish widow, reluctantly surrenders the driver’s seat to chauffeur Hoke Coleburn, a proud, soft-spoken black man. With a heart-warming message of generosity and grace, the story captures the evolving relationship between the two, as Daisy comes to rely on Hoke not only as an employee, but as a valued friend.
