This was another book from the Harlem Renaissance. I didn't care for the main character Emma Lou as I found her snooty. I was involved though with the book and finished it in a short time. It's about Emma Lou's struggle to find a place where she belongs. Her skin is too dark for the African Americans around her and the Caucasians. She goes to college for a few years. Then she goes to Harlem where she falls for a loser player called Alva. He even has the gall to tell her she is imagining the discrimination. However, you as a reader see it happening everywhere around her. The reader is frustrated by some of her actions like her quitting college and going back to Alva. However, the ending left me satisfied.
