Tensions arise between a biracial couple when their son is admitted to the private school where they'd applied on a lark. A new mother hosts an old friend, still single, and discovers how each of them pities-and envies- the other. A young woman responds to an adoptee in search of her birth mother, knowing it is not she.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDanzy Senna\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of five previous books, including the bestselling \u003ci\u003eCaucasia\u003c\/i\u003e and, most recently, \u003ci\u003eNew People\u003c\/i\u003e.
