註釋
Idella Baxter grew up a mixed race child, rejected as an infant by her white mother and dumped on her impverished black father's porch. Raised by MaMary, her loving grandmother, Idella at twenty-three is a radiant beauty filled with bright hopes and the ambition to turn her purse-making business into a success. Despite the seizures that plague her, Patricia Addison has enjoyed her position in the privileged world of the black clite. And the Addison family is so grateful for Idella's help during one of Patricia's attacks that they offer MaMary a job and seem to open their hearts to Idella. Then green-eyed, good-looking Gerald Campbell, heir for a family of medical professionals, walks into Patricia's life, and she will do anything to keep him from walking out again--with Idella. Grandmother Agnes, the Addison family matriarch, refuses to die before knowing the Addison dynasty's bank account is secure...and she has plotted her revenge on the Baxters for jealousies spawned long ago. Already she is hatching a cruel scheme to destroy MaMary's life and crush Idella's dreams. As passions explode and secrets are revealed, all three women are hurtling headlong into tragedy...unless they can grasp the power of forgiveness and rediscover their communities' deeply rooted values of kindness, love, and faith.
