Summary:

A black woman from Trinidad wins a scholarship to a white women's college in Wisconsin and experiences the lot of blacks in America. She becomes involved in the civil rights struggle. In her third novel, Nunez weaves a personal story into the broader tapestry of political history, in the story of 21-year-old Sara Edgehill, who leaves her native Trinidad in 1963 to attend college in America.
