| KC Girlfriends Book Club's New Author Showcase |
| Synopsis When we look back from 2007 to 1955, we do so with knowledge that everything turned out okay. We can look back at the craziness of Jim Crow, knowing the world would change, we never feel the fear, frustration, horror and desperation of the people on both sides. Unfortunately, the people during that time had no idea if the world would ever change. That's what Blackbirds is all about. A common black family in 1955 just trying to put another meal on the table and survive, Robert and Leona McCray and their children Lincoln, Joshua and Rita, along with the people they encounter, have no idea how much the world would change by 1970. They're not perfect people, instead they are terribly flawed, like the rest of us. They are all blackbirds. Some will spread their wings, some will plunge, and some will soar. |
