X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Synopsis:</p>\n<p>Coming of age in a free 
 Black community in Reconstruction-era Brooklyn\, Libertie Sampson is all t
 oo aware that her mother\, a physician\, has a vision for their future tog
 ether: Libertie is to go to medical school and practice alongside her.</p>
 \n<p>But Libertie is hungry for something else&mdash\;is there really only
  one way to be independent? And she is constantly reminded that\, unlike h
 er light-skinned mother\, she will not be able to pass for white. When a y
 oung man from Haiti proposes to Libertie and promises a better life on the
  island\, she accepts\, only to discover that she is still subordinate to 
 him and all men. As she tries to parse what freedom actually means for a B
 lack woman\, Libertie struggles with where she might find it&mdash\;for he
 rself and for generations to come.<br /><br />Inspired by the life of one 
 of the first Black female doctors in the United States\, critically acclai
 med and Whiting Award&ndash\;winning author Kaitlyn Greenidge returns with
  an unforgettable and immersive novel that will resonate with readers eage
 r to understand our present through a deep\, moving\, and lyrical dive int
 o our past.</p>\n<p>Click <a href="https://encore.akronlibrary.org/iii/enc
