Review # 1 was written on 2007-10-01 00:00:00 Melissa Archilla I interviewed author Rosellen Brown in her Hyde Park apartment in Chicago for an AP story. This is the story of a white Jewish woman who has a baby by a black professor in 1960s Mississippi and lets him raise the child. She reunites with the child 17 years later. The book is a good study of the inner prejudices we have and how they can affect our lives. Are we always as liberal as we say we are?

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-26 00:00:00 John Bingley Really intriguing premise and there were parts of this that I enjoyed. However, the dialogue was unrealistic at parts and the entirety of the book was so incredibly wordy, as others have said. A lot was left unsaid here and I think with a lot of the wordiness cut out, we could have had more story inserted.
