Angela is beautiful, talented, ambitious, and Black. When she leaves the confines of her family and Philadelphia for the artistic life in Greenwich Village, she makes the choice to enjoy all of the advantages that come with being perceived as white. But being a white woman still means being a woman, and Angela soon finds that navigating love, career, and friends won't be easy on her own. This coming-of-age novel takes a frank look at love and identity and asks, what do we give up and what do we gain when we let the perceptions of others shape who we are?
