"We weren't born her children. And she was black before she was white."
1905, New Orleans. Dr. Walter Humphrey, a man of mixed race, must keep the dangerous secret of passing for white to survive. Alongside his lifelong companion Leatha, and a young woman named Betsy, they form an unconventional household, where they raise their brilliant daughter, Hannah Maria Rose Murphy.
But it is their brilliant daughter, Hannah, whose story will capture your heart. Her journey as a surgeon leads her from the segregated South to the front lines of war-torn London. She must confront the complex legacy of identity and the powerful emotions that come with it. This gripping tale of love, family, and identity will captivate fans of historical fiction.
This touching story spans a century, following a family's secret across the American Deep South, World War II London, and modern Seattle.
