May and Naomi are extended family, their grandmothers’ lives inseparably entwined on a Virginia plantation in the volatile time leading up to the Civil War. For both women, the twentieth century promises social transformation and equal opportunity. May, a young white woman, is on the brink of achieving the independent life she’s dreamed of since childhood. Naomi, a nurse, mother, and leader of the NAACP, has fulfilled her own dearest desire: buying a home for her family. But they both are about to learn that dreams can be destroyed in an instant. May’s future is upended, and she is forced to rely once again on her mother. Meanwhile, the white-majority neighborhood into which Naomi has moved is organizing against her while her sons are away fighting for their country. In the tumult of a changing nation, these two women—whose grandmothers survived the Civil War—support each other’s quest for liberation and dignity. Both find the strength to confront injustice and the faith to thrive on their chosen paths.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USAuthor: Laila IbrahimGenre: FictionTopic: Historical FictionBook Series: Yellow CrocusItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 19mmItem Weight: 318gRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
