   In 1959, Freda Gilroy arrives at Fisk University from Chicago and confronts Southern racism as she becomes involved in the early Civil Rights Movement, forced to choose how much to sacrifice for justice, love, and family expectations. In 1992 Chicago, her daughter Tulip is a driven public-relations professional shaken by the Rodney King verdict and workplace racism; she takes a risky stand that could upend her career. The novel traces both women’s parallel struggles to balance personal ambition, community responsibility, and the pursuit of racial equality.
