Macon, beautiful, fearless, and brilliant, knows she is too good to settle for less than she's worth, but her activism threatens the man she loves. <p/>In a vital time of politics and passion, dedication and distress, two women struggle to recreate themselves and their world--and learn to love the fight.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Marita Golden </b>is the author of more than a dozen works of fiction and nonfiction.
