It is 1949 and twenty-four-year old Marie Marchetti has just discovered the identity of her multiracial father, Jonathan Brooks, the father she never knew. Marie grew up in Chicago, the only child of a single mother, having had very little contact with people of other races, making her current situation more than a little daunting. Marie hope the invitation from Jonathan to spend two weeks with her newfound family over Thanksgiving will help uncover the truth about herself that her now deceased mother had never shared with her. But the visit has potential for being disastrous since Jonathan has only recently acknowledged Marie's existence to his wife and their three grown sons. Marie's strong need to understand who she is and where she belongs drives her to form an intimate connection with her new family, transcend the prejudices of friends and strangers, and seek peace and truth in her life.
