500    "[Follows] the fictionalized story of author Jean Alicia 
       Elster's maternal grandmother, Dorothy May Jackson." -- 
       back cover. 
520    Born in Tennessee in 1890, Dorothy May was the middle 
       daughter of Addie Jackson, a married African-American 
       housekeeper at one of the white boardinghouses in town, 
       and Tom Mitchell, a commanding white attorney from a 
       prominent family. We follow Dorothy May's experiences with
       race relations and class division, both as a child and 
       later as a teacher. Dorothy May, choosing between her 
       career and marriage to a man she barely knows, moves to 
       Detroit. -- adapted from back cover
