Summary

Savannah Riddle feels suffocated by her life as the daughter of an upper class African American family in Washington, D.C., until she meets a working-class girl named Nell who introduces her to the suffragette and socialist movements and to her politically active cousin Lloyd1919. As a daughter of an upper class African American family in Washington D.C., Savannah is lucky, but feels suffocated by the structure of society. Lloyd, a young West Indian man from the working class, opens her eyes to how the other half lives. As Savannah is drawn more and more to Lloyd's world, she must decide how much she is willing to "be the change" in a world on the brink of dramatic transformation. -- adapted from jacket
