Peggy and Lee aren't really the perfect couple. He is gay and she is a lesbian but they manage to have two kids before Peg can't take it any more. She takes her daughter and runs away, hiding in plain sight not far away. She adopts an African American identity to escape detection. Her daughter is raised unaware that she has a father and older brother and without the benefit of electricity or indoor plumbing until she and her mother move to a housing project.
If this all sounds strange, trust me, it is. But the book is great and Nell Zink is going on my list to always read.
