<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Balancing sharp-witted humor with profundity, sexiness with psychological depth, this exhilarating ride through the racially divided heart of contemporary America probes the universal question of what it means to be a good mother.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Windsor Armstrong has a problem: her brilliant boy, Pushkin X, has become a football superstar and is planning to marry a Russian lap dancer. In Windsor's opinion, Pushkin is throwing away every good thing she has given him. When she was an unwed teen mother, Windsor attended Harvard, leaving her shady Detroit roots behind. She raised her son to be fiercely intelligent, well-spoken, and proud. Now he lives for pro football and a white woman of no account. Outraged by her son's decisions but devoted to loving him right, Windsor prepares to give up her last secret: the identity of Pushkin's father.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A refreshing take on identity, politics, and love in America . . . Randall's rich storytelling takes us on Windsor's journey into her past, and her powerful, sometimes lyrical prose translates into an almost tangible feeling of St. Petersburg, Russia; Nashville; Detroit; and Washington, D.C."<br>
