Product Description:

On Easter day, 1939, a German Jewish emigre scientist, meets a young Philadelphia Negro studying to be a singer. Their mutual love of music draws them together, and--against all odds and better judgment--they marry. They vow to raise their children beyond time, beyond identity, steeped only in song.
