Drei Frauen. Drei Generationen. Ein Schicksal, das sie eint. Brooklyn 1969: Als die unverheiratete Afroamerikanerin Grace schwanger wird, will sie nur eines: ihr Kind gegen alle Konventionen behalten. Doch das Baby wird ihr weggenommen und wächst bei einem jungen Ehepaar auf. Obwohl Rae sehr früh von ihrer Adoption erfährt, stellt sie keine Fragen. Für sie sind Delores und Tommy ihre „richtigen“ Eltern. Das ändert sich jedoch, als mit dem Tod ihres Vaters ein Geheimnis ans Licht kommt, das Rae dazu zwingt, sich mit ihrer Herkunft auseinanderzusetzen – und mit ihren beiden Müttern. Meisterhaft verwebt Denene Millner die Leben von Grace, Delores und Rae zu einem Generationen umspannenden Epos von den Südstaaten in den 1960ern über die amerikanische Bürgerrechtsbewegung bis ins heutige New York. Ein hochaktueller Roman darüber, wie Herkunft, Kultur und die Last der Geschichte afroamerikanische Frauen bis heute prägen und darüber, dass es keine stärkere Macht gibt als die Liebe einer Mutter.
From the star of Hidden Figures comes an inspiring and funny memoir about family, friends, the hustle required to make it in Hollywood.
