"Bebe, a bookworm with an outlandish imagination, lives a peculiarly privileged life for a Black girl during the Great Depression. Her father owns a hospital and an array of successful businesses, making him the target of the KKK. Her home is filled with a panoply of distinctive family members including a psychic mother, a terrifying “spinster” aunt who might be having an affair with the local sheriff, a grandmother who might be the great-great Granddaughter of Alexander Hamilton, and Grandmother Betty, a Cherokee medicine woman who suffers no fools. Guilt over the death of a family members stifles Bebe’s ability to rebel against her father’s suffocating demands. A tempestuous relationship with her enigmatic boyfriend and other challenges – both hilarious and heartbreaking – compound Bebe’s ability to find her own voice. When a staggering opportunity in post-war Europe arises, will she abandon everything she’s ever known to reinvent herself in an unfamiliar world?"
