Weaving together the lives of blacks and whites, racists and
civil rights advocates, and the events of peaceful protest and
violent repression, Sena Jeter Naslund creates a tapestry of
American social transformation at once intimate and epic.
In Birmingham, Alabama, twenty-year-old Stella Silver, an
idealistic white college student, is sent reeling off her measured
path by events of 1963. Combining political activism with single
parenting and night-school teaching, African American Christine
Taylor discovers she must heal her own bruised heart to actualize
meaningful social change. Inspired by the courage and commitment of
the civil rights movement, the child Edmund Powers embodies hope
for future change. In this novel of maturation and growth, Naslund
makes vital the intersection of spiritual, political, and moral
forces that have redefined America.
