Growing up in Washington DC in the 1960s , Naomi Jefferson, sheltered by her solid, middle class black community, is only occasionally touched by racism. But when her adored older brother, Joshua, is involved in a tragic accident on his way to a civil rights demonstration, the rift between black and white America suddenly becomes personal.
At college, Naomi immerses herself in campus politics, and men, only to become disillusioned and facing some harsh realities. Then she makes a decision: politics are useless, romance is hopeless, what she really needs is a career. Despite her success at work, the promotions keep going to the white guys. But Naomi is determined to win where other black women have failed, and just when she thinks that the only person she can depend on is herself, two people walk into her life who make her believe once again that anything worth having is worth fighting for ...
