In another town at a different time, she might have been just another beautiful girl. But this was New Orleans, at the beginning of the 20th century. Neither place nor time was ordinary. New Orleans has always been a difficult mistress but the stresses of post-reconstruction, a complex and sometimes confusing array of racial connections and relationships as well as ambiguous attitudes towards social and economic progress made life especially difficult for even the most attractive and brightest citizens who were not considered white. Susanna Didier was born into a society that placed her in the awkward position of someone who is neither black nor white, someone who one day can be accepted as an equal among the most influential people of the city and the next can be relegated to serving them. How does one navigate a world where even love and compassion are constrained by a social fabric woven from centuries of repression and ambivalence? It is difficult to say in general. This is the story of Susanna's journey.
