Catherine Sanderson seems to have it all: a fulfilling career helping immigrant
women find jobs, a lovely home, and a beautiful, intelligent daughter on her
way to Smith College. What Catherine doesn't have: a father for her child- and
she's spent many years dodging her daughter's questions about it. Now Phoebe is
old enough to start poking around on her own. It doesn't help matters that the
mystery man, B.J. Johnson-the only man Catherine has ever loved-doesn't even
know about Phoebe. He's been living in Africa.
Now B.J., a renowned newspaper correspondent, is back in town and needs
Catherine's help cracking a story about a female slavery ring operating right
on the streets of Atlanta. Catherine is eager to help B.J., despite her heart's
uncertainty over meeting him again after so long, and confessing the truth to
him-and their daughter.
Meanwhile, Catherine's hands are more than full since she's taken on a new
client. Atlanta's legendary Miss Mandeville-a housekeeper turned tycoon-is
eager to have Catherine staff her housekeeping business. But why are the steely
Miss Mandeville and her all-too-slick sidekick Sam so interested in Catherine's
connection to B.J.? What transpires is an explosive story that takes her
world-not to mention the entire city of Atlanta-by storm.
From the New York Times bestselling author of What Looks Like Crazy on an
Ordinary Day . . . comes another fast-paced and emotionally resonant novel, by
turns warm and funny, serious and raw. Pearl Cleage's ability to create a
gripping story centered on strong, spirited black women and the important
issues they face remains unrivaled.
