Jonella Joy Johnson knows that the summer of 1959 will be momentous. After all, she's about to graduate from high school, turn 18, and finally escape from having to live with her fanatically religious Aunt Eula. But nothing can prepare the beautiful black orphan for the eruption which is about to take place in her small town, Great River, Michigan, in her church, Fountain Street Holy Church, or in her own naïve, sheltered life. Her innocence is knicked when socialite Elizabeth Vanderzaan, a white bigot in high heels, pretends to do good at the Negro church for the sake of her husband's political career. Then Jonella accidentally spies her beloved minister, Rev. Hyram Haynes, entering a stripper's den. But it isn't until Senator Paul Vanderzaan, with his blond handsomeness and toting his 4-year-old daughter, enters the scene that Jonella's life shatters completely. Nothing is all black-and-white, as she's always believed.... And only her own determination can piece her life back together again.... Adult content-for readers 18 and older only. Not for those offended by adult language and sex.
