520    "From the author of Color Me Butterfly, the poignant story
       of a decades-long love affair that creates complicated and
       unbreakable ties between two families that live worlds 
       apart.  When Morris Sullivan joins the navy in 1940, his 
       hopes are high. Though he leaves behind his new wife and 
       their baby daughter, he is thrilled to be pursuing his 
       lifelong dream--only to be shipped off to Pearl Harbor 
       when the war begins. When he narrowly survives the 1941 
       attack, thanks to the courage of a black sailor he doesn't
       know, Morris is determined to seek out the man's family 
       and express his gratitude and respect. On leave, he tracks
       down the man's sister in his very own hometown of Boston--
       and finds an immediate, undeniable connection with the 
       nurturing yet fiercely independent Beatrice, who has left 
       the stifling South of her upbringing for the more liberal,
       integrated north.  Though both try to deny their growing 
       bond, their connection and understanding is everything 
       missing from Morris's hasty marriage to his high school 
       sweetheart Agnes, and from Beatrice's plodding life as she
       grieves the brother she has lost. At once a family epic, 
       and a historical drama that takes readers from World War 
       II through the Civil Rights era to the present day, A Life
       Apart brings readers along for the emotional journey as 
       Morris and Beatrice's relationship is tested by time, 
       family loyalties, racial tensions, death, unending guilt, 
       and the profound effects of war"--|cProvided by publisher.
