Front Cover
Riverhead Books, 2004 - Fiction - 213 pages
A young biracial woman's postcollege year in New York proves psychologically challenging. The unnamed narrator has landed a prestigious fellowship and a job as a reporter at a big New York magazine, not to mention a "strange lovely" new boyfriend who moves her into his apartment faster than she can say "nice place." But when Andrew-who thinks she's white-introduces her to his Andover pals, racist comments send her on a hunt for independence and a place of her own.
