 ce: raised by her beloved grandmother in tension-filled\, post-segregation
  Virginia\, Grace is barely a teenager when she loses her grandmother. She
 llshocked\, she is shipped up North to live with her formidably ambitious 
 Aunt Hattie--a woman who firmly left behind her Southern roots in pursuit 
 of upward mobility. Feeling like a fish out of water in the high society w
 orld filled with fancy teas and coveted debutante balls\, Grace's only pla
 ce of comfort is with the smart\, handsome son of one of the society's gra
 nd dames. Meet Delores: beautiful\, intelligent and fierce\, Delores a.k.a
 . Lolo has never had it easy. Once she makes it north\, she puts aside her
  dream of being a model to do what she has to do to survive as a woman wit
 h little money and no mooring: get married and have a family of her own. W
 hen secrets start to spill out and she and her family slowly begin to unra
 vel\, Lolo is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her dream intact and
  those she loves together. Meet Rae: when Lolo's headstrong daughter Rae d
 iscovers that she is adopted\, it's just one secret among others that her 
 family is keeping. When Rae finds out that she's about to become a mother 
 herself\, she knows that there is an important reckoning that must be face
 d about herself and her two mothers.</p>\n<p></p>\n<p>Questions about this
