Fewer still are twenty-four, Black, and wildly successful. But Eva Cardon is unwilling to serve only the wealthiest movers and shakers, and she plans to open a diner that serves Southern comfort to the working class. A war hero and one of Georgia's native sons, Courtland Hardiman Kingsley IV is a junior senator with great ambitions for his time in DC. But while his father is determined to see Courtland on a path to the White House, the young senator wants to use his office to make a difference in people's lives, regardless of political consequences. When equal-rights activism throws Eva and Courtland into each other's paths, they can't fight the attraction they feel, no matter how much it complicates their dreams. For Eva, falling in love with a white Southerner is all but unforgivable and undesirable. Her mother and grandmother fell in love with white men, and their families paid the price. Courtland is already under pressure for his liberal ideals, and his family has a line of smiling debutantes waiting for him on every visit. If his father found out about Eva, he's not sure he'd be welcome home again. Surrounded by the disapproval of their families and the scorn of the public, Eva and Courtland must decide if the values they hold most dear including love are worth the loss of their dreams and everything else. 650 0 $a Restaurateurs $z Washington (D.C.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African American women $z Washington (D.C.) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Legislators $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interracial dating $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romance fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Abbott-Pratt, Joniece, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Thorne, Neill, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20220902012600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F248613C2A8611EDB7025AE94EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
