About this title

Synopsis

Thea Morgan has never fit in. The light-skinned African-American is the recent widow of a white man. Now, she must face questions of race as she returns to her roots with her daughter-and begins to fall for her first love all over again...

From Library Journal

After years of marriage to her white college sweetheart, Thea Morgan, an African American so light that she is often taken for white, suddenly finds herself a widow, complete with a rebellious teenage daughter, a high-powered career to manage, and a host of demands from in-laws, family, and friends. And then her charismatic first love, a Seventies African American radical- turned-cleric, walks back into her life and turns her world upside down. Realistic, hard-hitting, yet wonderfully romantic, this sensitively written novel offers an insightful look at perceptions, taking ownership of one's heritage, and "being who you are." It will appeal across cultural lines to a wide variety of romance and women's fiction readers; fans of Sandra Kitt might be particularly interested. Castoro, herself a light-skinned African American, has written a number of books as Laura Parker and lives in Dallas.
