  <default_description>Catherine Sanderson seems to have it all: a fulfilling career helping immigrant women find jobs, a lovely home, and a beautiful, intelligent daughter on her way to Smith College. What Catherine doesn&amp;#8217;t have: a father for her child&amp;#8211; and she&amp;#8217;s spent many years dodging her daughter&amp;#8217;s questions about it. Now Phoebe is old enough to start poking around on her own. It doesn&amp;#8217;t help matters that the mystery man, B.J. Johnson&amp;#8211;the only man Catherine has ever loved&amp;#8211;doesn&amp;#8217;t even know about Phoebe. He&amp;#8217;s been living in Africa.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now B.J., a renowned newspaper correspondent, is back in town and needs Catherine&amp;#8217;s help cracking a story about a female slavery ring operating right on the streets of Atlanta. Catherine is eager to help B.J., despite her heart&amp;#8217;s uncertainty over meeting him again after so long, and confessing the truth to him&amp;#8211;and their daughter. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meanwhile, Catherine&amp;#8217;s hands are more than full since she&amp;#8217;s taken on a new client. Atlanta&amp;#8217;s legendary Miss Mandeville&amp;#8211;a housekeeper turned tycoon&amp;#8211;is eager to have Catherine staff her housekeeping business. But why are the steely Miss Mandeville and her all-too-slick sidekick Sam so interested in Catherine&amp;#8217;s connection to B.J.? What transpires is an explosive story that takes her world&amp;#8211;not to mention the entire city of Atlanta&amp;#8211;by storm.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the &lt;i&gt;New York Times&lt;/i&gt; bestselling author of &lt;i&gt;What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day . . .&lt;/i&gt; comes another fast-paced and emotionally resonant novel, by turns warm and funny, serious and raw. Pearl Cleage&amp;#8217;s ability to create a gripping story centered on strong, spirited black women and the important issues they face remains unrivaled.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>
