Description

As 1947 opens, Eva Cardon is the twenty-four-year-old owner of Washington, D.C.'s, most famous Black-owned restaurant. When her path crosses with Courtland, a handsome white senator from Georgia, both find themselves drawn to one another--but the danger of a relationship between a Black woman and a white man from the South could destroy them and everything they've worked for. Few women own upscale restaurants in civil rights era Washington, D.C.
