In best-selling author Sandra Kitt's provocative urban romance,
light-skinned Patricia Gilbert has spent much of her life passing as
white, but her identity becomes much more complicated when she falls in
love. With her youthful appearance and light skin, African-American high
school counselor Patricia knows how it feels to be an outsider in her
own world. And when a biracial 15-year-old boy becomes the target of
neighborhood bullies, she's determined to help him. One of New York's
most successful men, Morgan Baxter feels totally at home in a corporate
boardroom. But being a single father to a troubled teenager is a far
more daunting challenge. Patricia Gilbert seems to understand his son -
and him. As Morgan and Patricia start seeing each other, he has no idea
where the three of them are headed.
With insight and sensitivity, Sandra Kitt gives us a passionate and
thought-provoking novel about family, race, identity, and romantic love.
