- Description
- Told is the story of an upper middle-class African American clan and four generations of extraordinary women. The author, rebel daughter from a long line of rebel daughters, traces her heritage from her mother, a sad and lovely journalist, actress, and composer: to a glamorous grandmother, the popular restaurateur and former showgirl: to upright great-aunt, one of Washington's first black female physicians: and, finally, to great-grandmother, the indomitable feminist-abolitionist.
