"The issues of biracial marriage and racial bigotry are explored with potent insight and literary skill in McLarin's second novel. Porter and Lee are a pair of personable and tortured lovers who reflect their unique pasts in psychologically nuanced portrayals. Their story may be a cautionary tale for those who would pit individuality against group identity. Primarily, though, this is a gripping novel about love and the obstacles it encounters even in so-called enlightened society." Publishers Weekly
