A mother named Mercy. A mother who for all of Eve's twenty-two years has been a mystery and a quest. Eve's search for her mother, and the father she never knew, is a mission to discover her identity, her name, her people, and her home. Eve's questions and longing launch a multi-generational story that sprawls back to the turn of the twentieth century, settles into the soil of the South, the blood and souls of Black folk making love and life and fleeing in a Great Migration into the savage embrace of the North. Eve is a young woman coming of age in Chicago against the backdrop of the twin fires and fury of the civil rights and Black Power movements -- a time when everything and everyone, it seems, longs to be made anew. At the core of this story are the various meanings of love -- how we love and, most of all, whom we love. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Rural-urban migration $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Georgia $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 8 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023755.0 952 $l SDPB094 $d 20230428155849.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20220309011935.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20211102011105.0 952 $l BDPB251 $d 20211019010126.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009012820.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210911010218.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20210730010317.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68CE7538F0FB11EB95FCE99C4EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
