Riassunto

Monique Toussaint LeBlanc is the biracial child of immigrant French and African parents. Beautiful and statuesque, she married Damian LeBlanc, her college sweetheart whom she met at Yale. Damian is a handsome and ambitious African-American lawyer in a prestigious law firm in New Orleans. The son of a judge on the Court of Appeal, he is determined to fulfill his political passions, surpassed only by his sexual drive and extramarital exploits. Damian harbors intra-racial prejudice rooted in the taboo of Creole and Mulatto cultural stereotypes. Despite his double standards, like his father, Damian attempts to capitalize on the political and economic support of this predominantly African-American city of New Orleans. In the meantime, having grown up in Washington, D.C., Monique grapples with this baffling behavior within the African American community, and the very family into which she has married. Through it all, she ponders what has happened to Damian, the “gentleman” she had trusted, as she reexamines her intrinsic worth, marriage, and life.The critical conflict occurs with the revelation of long-repressed secrets about Monique’s own family. Yet, her family secrets paled next to the ultimate truth later unearthed, compelling her to make a monumental decision. Faced with a painful dilemma, she struggles to navigate a path out of the darkness of the unknown.
