Set in the early sixties against the backdrop of impending national integration, the novel follows
Lee James, a dark-skinned, Catholic, Lebanese girl who comes to a small south Georgia town. Lee
has already seen the partiality shown her younger, fairer sister Ray, and experienced prejudice even
in the Catholic church that she dutifully attends with her two daughters, who both have their father’s
blonde hair and blue eyes. She must confront the prejudices of her husband’s family and the
community toward her nationality and religion, at a time when there were no birth control pills, no
internet, no cell phones, and when a woman’s place was in the home. Lee struggles with her own
growth as a wife, mother, and an individual in an unfavourable place and time.
