d close as Katanya becomes an outspoken teenager and Lucinda discovers her deceased father's African American family. Lucinda relishes contact with her "new" relatives, especially her aged grandmother. She is determined to spend as much time as she possibly can baby-sitting the neighbor's precocious child and visiting with friends and family, and then she meets her grandmother's doctor, Eli Carter. He is also of mixed heritage, but she is very uncomfortable with the attraction she feels for him since she hasn't been involved with a man since she was 19.
