"Grace Jefferson is an educated and accomplished modern woman, a child of the
Civil Rights dream, and she knows it well. But after a series of rattling
personal transitions, she finds herself in a new house in a new city and in a
new career for which she feels dangerously unsuited: a stay-at-home mom. Caught
between the only two models of mothering she has ever known - a sharecropping
grandmother who abandoned her children to save herself and a mother who
sacrificed all to save her kids - Grace struggles to embrace her new role,
hoping to find a middle ground. But as the days pass and the pressures mount,
Grace begins to catch herself in small acts of abandonment - speeding up on
neighborhood walks, closing doors with children on one side and her on the
other - that she fears may foretell a future she is powerless to prevent. Or
perhaps it's a future she secretly seeks." Jump at the Sun is a novel about an
isolating suburban life and the continuing legacy of slavery, about
generational change and the price of living the dream for which our parents
fought. Primarily it is a novel about motherhood, and not a sentimental one. As
Grace struggles not to damage her children with her own fears and
complications, her thoughts stray far from the greeting-card picture often
expected of mothers in society today.
