From a cloistered 1950s Mississippi town founded by freed slaves to the striking diversity of Paris and Rome, through Wall Streetā€™s glittering Roaring 80s to the present day, this sweeping, unforgettably moving novel chronicles one Southern Black girlā€™s remarkable journey through turbulent decadesā€”and the four men who challenge her to fight for happiness.

Freedom fighter, brilliant businessperson, devoted wife, master of languages, and ultimately, savior of a European dynasty. Claudia Patterson would become all of theseā€”spurred on by the fiercely powerful loves and losses along the way ā€¦

Denny Clark. An abused thirteen-year-old White boy whose life twelve-year-old Claudia savesā€”complicating her own life for years to come.

Robert Moore. A young Black lawyer who becomes Claudiaā€™s beloved husband and partner on the explosive front lines of the Civil Rights Movement. Amid the violence of the Ku Klux Klan, Claudia has a shocking personal encounterā€”with unimaginable consequences.

Ashley Booth. A Wall Street executive who brings the glamour of New York alive for the now-widowed Claudia, introducing her to an elite circle of Black peers. But their long yet uncommitted romance leads Claudia to move onā€”to an overseas assignment at an Italian bank.

Giancarlo Pasquale Fortenza. An Italian automobile industrialist, once enamored of a young Claudiaā€”handsome, worldly, and twelve years her senior. A man with whom Claudia reconnects, bringing her life full circle in the boldest, bravest, and most unexpected ways ā€¦

Rich with history and timeless emotion, here is an epic tale of rising through poverty, racism, and heartbreakā€”and the awesome role of our most significant relationships throughout our lives.
