"The Gold Piano" tells the story of Emerson Wainwright, a young man
whose idyllic life in a small North Carolina town is turned upside
down after his father is caught on videotape in a homosexual act at
the county hospital.
To escape from his hometown and its painful memories, Emerson
enrolls at an under-funded historically black college a hundred
miles away, attending on a minority grant. As the only white
student living on campus, he struggles with his loneliness and his
role as an outsider.
His relationship with his roommate, a black activist from
Brooklyn, is challenged when Emerson begins to fall in love with
Zena, a gifted black artist. The novel's final scenes bring a quiet
but hopeful sense of resolution to Emerson's quest to define
himself and find his place in the world.
