"Contains an infectious hope and optimism."--Los Angeles Times "Brims with warmth, energy, and a positive message about persistence and loyalty."--San Francisco Chronicle From the Paperback edition.
Born into a comfortable Washington, D.C., home, Naomi Jefferson leads a life that is only occasionally marred by racism. As a teenager in the 1960s, her biggest concern centers around virginity. But all that changes when her older brother, Joshua -- who seems destined for greatness -- is killed in a tragic car accident on his way to a civil rights demonstration. Now the rift between black and white America becomes much too personal, and Naomi embarks on a journey to honor her brother's legacy -- and to find herself.
This brilliant new novel, from the bestselling author of Sisters & Lovers, traces three decades in the life of a woman readers will not soon forget, as she searches for love and purpose in a harsh, often unforgiving world.
