When Titus Horace; successful African American author; inherits a large tract of land; he leaves Chicago with his Jewish wife Ardene and their daughter Asa; and moves to the segregated North Carolina of 1950. Unhappy at being uprooted from her school and friends; Asa quickly learns how persons of color are intimidated and humiliated on a daily basis and how; despite their education and talent; each day becomes an effort to survive brutal hostility. Asa discovers she and her father; a professor at the college for black students; cannot enter the town's public library. As Asa struggles to adapt to her new life; she falls in love with a musical savant who lives in a cabin on Horace land; and joins members of a small diverse community to defy the oppression of legal segregation through profound acts of resistance. |
