Summary
Hope Robinson is black, bright, and angry. Now a reporter for a newspaper, she has never gotten over her experiences years ago at an all-white prep school where she was a scholarship student. The stress and hatred that fuel her life finally culminate in an act of desperation that threatens to destroy her fragile self-image, and her personal life, which includes an affair with a white man.
