Description: "Secret Love tells a double love story. Jake Roseman, a forty-five-year-old widowed attorney and media darling, whistles jazz as he leads civil rights protests with a surer touch than he can apply to his personal life. When Nisa Bohem, a young black activist and actress, is drawn to Jake, the two embark on an exquisitely playful and complex romance.

Nisa's actor friend Peter also crosses the color line in his love for Simon Sims, the estranged son of a renowned Baptist minister, who tries to reconcile his homosexuality with his participation in the Nation of Islam."--BOOK JACKET.
