Tensions arise between a biracial couple when their son is admitted to the private school where they'd applied on a lark. A new mother hosts an old friend, still single, and discovers how each of them pities-and envies- the other. A young woman responds to an adoptee in search of her birth mother, knowing it is not she.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594485077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurston\/Wright LEGACY Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEssence\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2011 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/08\/2011 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2011 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2011 pg. 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Danzy Senna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205061542069,"sku":"9781594485077","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0682839f-ea6c-4dc2-a57b-6a95b96b9396.jpg?v=1698128230","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/you-are-free-stories-9781594485077","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
