Have you ever discovered a big secret about your spouse? Was the secret so big that it affected your marriage?<\/strong><\/p>\nJudd and Evette are happily married, expecting their first child. Judd receives a phone call: his former fianc\u00e9e is hospitalized and for the first day time, he’s become aware that he has a six-year-old bi-racial daughter. He needs to come and get his child (Jolie) since the child’s mother cannot care for her.<\/p>\n
Evette is stunned to hear this news. She has mixed feelings about bringing a biracial daughter into their home. Judd is just as stunned as he wonders why his ex never shared that he’d fathered a child.<\/p>\n
This novel touches upon a lot of deep subjects. The main themes are race relations and forgiveness. Overall a good read. The author did a great job with research regarding African-Americans. I especially liked how she addressed the issue of Jolie’s hair – extremely realistic.<\/p>\n
