An enthralling novel of three generations of African-American women struggling against all odds to express what lies deepest in their hearts, "Third Girl from the Left" is a deeply moving and ambitious story of one quintessentially American family. The Edwards women have always had one thing in common: each has looked to the movies as a way to escape the constraints of her own life. But for Mildred, a straight-laced survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race riots, her daughter Angela's turn as a blaxploitation actress is unforgivable, and the distance between them grows into a silence that lasts for years. It is only when Angela's daughter, Tamara, a filmmaker, sets out to close the rift between them that the women are forced to confront all that has been silenced and left unspoken in their lives. A bold, beautifully written, and deeply involving novel, "Third Girl from the Left" deftly examines the bonds of family—the ones we're born into and the ones we make for ourselves—the pull of the movies, and the power of desire to transcend and transform our lives.
