Title: Absalom's daughters
Description: Self-educated and brown-skinned, Cassie works full time in her grandmother's laundry in rural Mississippi.  Illiterate and white, Judith falls for colored music and dreams of life as a big city radio star.  These teenaged girls are half-sisters.  And when they catch wind of their wayward father's inheritance coming down in Virginia, they hitch their hopes to a road trip together to claim what's rightly theirs.
