Official synopsis Publisher
“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.
