As a teenager growing up in a comfortable Washington, D.C. suburb in the 1960s, Naomi Jefferson is much more concerned with losing her virginity than with the racial tension sweeping across America. But when her older brother is killed on the way to a civil rights demonstration, Naomi dedicates her life to honoring his legacy. Through three decades of challenges and changes, Naomi must learn who she is--and how best to find love and purpose in an unforgiving world. The best-selling author of A Long Way From Home delivers an unforgettable look at one woman's struggle to define herself.
