<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Three sisters, the children of a mixed couple - their father African American, their mother </p><p>white - choose different paths for adult fulfillment. Beautiful, fair-skinned Leana, who is </p><p>proficient, skillful, and talented at the piano, wants to become a concert pianist. Does she have </p><p>the fortitude to live a life alone, buffeted by incessant travel and stage appearances? Fresh from </p><p>the Conservatory at Oberlin College, will she instead pursue a career mentored by her African </p><p>American professor, who insists on a sexual relationship? What path does she finally choose?</p><p><br></p><p>Nicole, who views her dark skin as an impediment to success, is gratified when Bryn Mawr college </p><p>accepts her as a student, but she is dissatisfied by being tethered to a domineering high school </p><p>sweetheart. Does a new, meaningful life await her when she breaks away and begins a relationship </p><p>with an African American, both of them students at the University of Pennsylvania law school? </p><p>Together can they help other blacks overcome the legal disadvantages in a white society?</p><p><br></p><p>Can Danielle, the loving younger sister who wants nothing more than to help youngsters grow up </p><p>healthy and strong, overcome the loss of her first love? Martha's Vineyard beckons her and </p><p>engenders in her an extreme interest in the Native Americans, whose ancestors have lived on the </p><p>island for thousands of years. She, on the other hand, doesn't even know her grandparents, who </p><p>disowned her parents when they married. Does she find happiness when she marries a Native American and reconciles with her immediate ancestors?</p><p><br></p><p>When do the bluebirds sing? When all is right with the world? Or at least a microcosm of the </p><p>world.</p><p><br></p>
