Last year's Tiptree Award winner. Romance between a black woman and a biracial (white/Seminole) man which starts off in rural Georgia early in the twentieth century and ends up in Chicago. Lots of good stuff about race, class, sexuality; different approaches to building black success/maintaining black community in the US; the soul-killing effects of necessary complicity with white stereotypes of black and Native people in theatre and film; the importance of art and storytelling to surviving and thriving. Trigger warnings for lynching, rape, homophobia (characters, not author).
