Description
Set in the vibrant, turbulent 1960s, this novel follows two best friends, Patrice Barber and Cherry Hopkins, as they prepare for a wedding that becomes far more than a celebration of love. As plans unfold, their hopes, fears, and loyalties are tested by the pressures of family, community expectations, and the realities of race and gender in a changing world. With warmth and emotional clarity, the story explores friendship as a lifeline, the cost of self-definition, and the quiet power of choosing one’s own future. Kristin Hunter Lattany’s distinctive, socially aware storytelling—rooted in the same bold concerns that shaped her earlier work—brings depth and resonance to a coming-of-age tale that feels both intimate and historically alive.
