In an arrestingly vivid novel spanning seven decades and two continents - from a cloistered 1950s Mississippi town founded by freed slaves to the striking diversity of Paris and Rome in the 1960s and 70s, through the glamor of 1980s Wall Street, to present day New York - bestselling author Rochelle Alers chronicles one woman's remarkable journey through some of history's most turbulent eras--and the four men who impact her life along the way. Perfect for fans of Angela Flournoy, Zora Neale Hurston, Sue Monk Kidd and Dolen Perkins-Valdez.

Freedom fighter, brilliant businessperson, devoted wife, master of languages, and ultimately, savior of a European dynasty. Claudia Patterson would become all of these--spurred on by the fiercely powerful loves and losses along the way...

  • Denny Clark. An abused thirteen-year-old white boy whose life twelve-year-old Claudia saves--complicating her own life for years to come.

  • Robert Moore. A young Black lawyer who becomes Claudia's beloved husband and partner on the explosive front lines of the Civil Rights Movement. Amid the violence of the Ku Klux Klan, Claudia has a shocking personal encounter--with unimaginable consequences.

  • Ashley Booth. A Wall Street executive who brings the glamour of New York alive for the now-widowed Claudia, introducing her to an elite circle of Black peers. But their long yet uncommitted romance leads Claudia to move on--to an overseas assignment at an Italian bank.

  • Giancarlo Pasquale Fortenza. An Italian automobile industrialist, once enamored of a young Claudia--handsome, worldly, and twelve years her senior. A man with whom Claudia reconnects, bringing her life full circle in the boldest, bravest, and most unexpected ways...

Rich with history and timeless emotion, here is an epic tale of rising through poverty, racism, and heartbreak--and the awesome role of our most significant relationships throughout our lives.
