He soon renames her Ady but Sanite never lets her daughter forget who she really is--a person who can read and write and understand numbers. Most importantly, Sanite reminds Ady that she must never reveal these abilities to a white person, especially not her true name. Tasked with maintaining du Marche's home in vibrant New Orleans, Ady takes in the city and starts to envision life beyond her dire circumstances. One day, she notices a beautiful stranger, radiant and poised with a colorful Tignon wrapped regally around her head. Ady realizes that she is a Free Woman. Inexplicably drawn to her, but not knowing who she is or what she does, Ady begins to search for answers--which eventually brings her to Lenore, a free woman who owns the Mockingbird Inn. When Lenore invites Ady to join The Daughters, Ady finds spiritual and sexual liberation, and with their help, imagines a new future for herself and her family"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult New Books Ruffin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Ruffin Checked out 05/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Ruffin Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Ruffin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Ruffin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Ruffin Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Fiction Ruffin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Ruffin Checked out 05/20/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
