Enjoyed the premise; good storyline. Seemed overly wordy at times.

I expected this book to be a mystery about Callie Jenkins and her missing baby. What happened to the baby? Who's the baby's father? What's the big secret? Instead, this book was about race relations, class structure and the lies parents tell their kids to protect them. I thought the ending was unsatisfying. I just wished for more from this book. Not in the same league as "To the Power of Three".

And boy were there a lot of affairs! It was almost as if there was pro-affair propaganda going on.
