| book description |

One of People magazine's most anticipated books! â€œA powerful, thought-provoking saga.â€ â€”Womanâ€™s World ""An evocative story of love and sacrifice.â€â€”People Â From the acclaimed author ofÂ The Kindest Lie, a propulsive novel about a mother and daughter each seeking justice and following their dreams in 1960s Nashville and 1990s Chicago. Two women. Two pivotal moments. One dream for justice and equality. In the fall of 1959, Freda Gilroy arrives on the campus of Fisk University full of hope, carrying a suitcase and the voice of her father telling her sheâ€™s part of a family legacy of greatness. Soon, the ugliness of the Jim Crow South intrudes, and sheâ€™s thrust into a movement for social change. Freda is reluctant to get involved, torn between a soon-to-be doctor her parents approve of and an audacious young man willing to risk it all in the name of justice. Freda finds herself caught between two worlds, and two loves, and must decide how much sheâ€™s willing to sacrifice for the advancement of her people. In 1992 Chicago, Fredaâ€™s daughter Tulip is an ambitious PR professional on track for an exciting career, if workplace politics and racial microaggressions donâ€™t get in her way. But with the ruling in the Rodney King trial weighing heavily on her, Tulip feels called to action. When she makes an irreversible professional misstep as she seeks to uplift her community, she must decide, just like her mother had three decades prior, what sheâ€™s willing to risk in the name of justice and equality. Insightful, evocative, and richly imagined with stories of hidden history,Â People of MeansÂ is an emotional tour de force that offers a glimpse into the quest for racial equality, the pursuit of personal and communal success, and the power of love and family ties. ""People of Means left me breathless! A beautifully crafted story...profound and sharp.""â€”Sadeqa Johnson New York Times bestselling author of The House of Eve
