Publisher's Synopsis
Present day New York. Writer Abbie Sterling is fed up with her life. She has everything a thirty-five year old woman could want, everything except parents, grandparents and a man. 1957, Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Abbrielle Hudson is black, poor, and has little to guide her but a struggling mother and their belief in God. Separated by generations and racism, Abbie and Abbrielle share a name, a family and a history unlike any other. This is a story of endurance and courage - a story of two women who discover, in very different ways, how to allow love into their lives.
