Description:When Southern socialite and lawyer’s wife Elyse Anderson, an African American still as beautiful at 50 as she was in her youth, loses her son Ovid to suicide, she sets out on a mission to find out why. She befriends her son’s last girlfriend, 34-year-old Shirelle Justice, a dutiful janitor, night-shift cashier and single mother who seems to harbor the truth about Ovid’s reason for killing himself. Despite differences in age and socioeconomic status, Elyse and Shirelle develop a closeness that eventually leads not only to Elyse discovering a shocking truth about her son, but also a profound truth about herself. ______________ In sterling language that reads as smoothly as a novel, Janet Walker, author of the e-book novel series Amazed by her Grace, employs the genre of the stage drama to tell an intriguing story about classism, women’s sexuality, and color prejudice within the African American community.
