This is the story of a group of black mothers who struggle to find that love ever after. It's a story written with tenderness by the author but it leaves a brutal and thought provoking feeling as you read it as the novel deals with rascism in the United States at the time.
Grace is one character who moves from the deep South to live in Brooklyn with her more well to do aunt. Then we meet Delores who adopts Grace's baby when she finds she cannot have her own children.
