500    "A Plume book." 
520    "Avey Johnson--a black, middle-aged, middle-class widow 
       given to hats, gloves, and pearls--has long since put 
       behind her the Harlem of her childhood. Then on a cruise 
       to the Caribbean with two friends, inspired by a troubling
       dream, she senses her life beginning to unravel--and in a 
       panic packs her bag in the middle of the night and 
       abandons her friends at the next port of call. The 
       unexpected and beautiful adventure that follows provides 
       Avey with the links to the culture and history she has so 
       long disavowed."--From back cover.
