Becky and Elliot are idealistic and artistic twenty-somethings who met at an elite college and married shortly after graduation. She's black and Christian; he's white and Jewish. But despite their backgrounds, families, and the social and political climate of the 1980's, they're convinced that their love, education, and the child they are expecting are all they need to be happy. When tragedy strikes, they must confront their vulnerability and come to acknowledge ways of knowing and lessons about life they still need to learn.
If you've ever been in love, given birth, experienced the death of a loved one, or wondered what happens when life ends, this is a novel that will make you laugh, cry, and celebrate being alive.
