"An engaging saga of unconditional friendship, love, and
foregiveness...Golden's style is modern, refreshing and accurately
captures a slice of African-American life."
ST. PETERSBURG TIMES
In the exciting, yet frightening days of Freedom Summer in 1963,
two very different African-American women meet, each to discover in
the other an elegant completion of herself. Jessie, running from
her sexually abusive father and distant mother, is a born actress.
In the movement she discovers an unknown world of personal freedom
that could shape her into an extraordinary talent or destroy her
from within. Macon, beautiful, fearless, and brilliant, knows she
is too good to settle for less than she's worth, but her activism
threatens the man she loves.
In a vital time of politics and passion, dedication and distress,
two women struggle to recreate themselves and their world--and
learn to love the fight.
