"My father is black and my mother is white and my brother is a
vegetable." When Emma Boudreaux's older brother winds up in a coma
after a freak accident, she loses her compass: only Bernie was able
to navigate--if not always diplomatically--the terrain of their
biracial identity. And although her father and brother are bound by
a haunting past that Emma slowly uncovers, she sees that she might
just escape.
In exhilarating prose, "The Professor's Daughter" traces the
borderlands of race and family, contested territory that gives rise
to rage, confusion, madness, and invisibility. This astonishingly
original voice surges with energy and purpose.
