Shellshocked, she is shipped up North to live with her formidably ambitious Aunt Hattie, a woman who firmly left behind her Southern roots in pursuit of upward mobility. Feeling like a fish out of water in the high society world filled with fancy teas and coveted debutante balls, Grace's only place of comfort is with the smart, handsome son of one of the society's grand dames. Meet Delores: beautiful, intelligent and fierce, Delores a.k.a. Lolo has never had it easy. Once she makes it north, she puts aside her dream of being a model to do what she has to do to survive as a woman with little money and no mooring: get married and have a family of her own. When secrets start to spill out and she and her family slowly begin to unravel, Lolo is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her dream intact and those she loves together. Meet Rae: when Lolo's headstrong daughter, Rae discovers that she is adopted, it's just one secret among others that her family is keeping. When Rae finds out that she's about to become a mother herself, she knows that there is an important reckoning that must be faced about herself and her two mothers. Potent, poetic, powerful, told with deep love, and spanning from the Great Migration to the civil unrest of the 1960s to the quest for women's equality in early 2000s, Denene Millner's beautifully wrought novel explores three women's intimate, and often complicated, struggle with what it truly means to be family"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a African American women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women, Black $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Large print books. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDA94710084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
