This book was originally published almost 30 years ago, yet the situations, emotions, and mental anguish presented in this book are relatable today.
The setting is Los Angeles, 1992, weeks following the Rodney King verdict and the ensuing riots. The heroine, Esther Jackson-seemingly self confident but quaveringly intense-has a good position as a regional operations manager of a bank. Esther has glass-ceilinged her way to a two bedroom house in an L.A. suburb, but along with success, she carries the contradictory burdens of compromise, determination & humiliation required of women of color who move up the corporate ladder.
