When Nora White is drugged by her friend, she is forced to deal with the harsh reality of life in the North. She meets Keisha, and the women catch a ride to The Den, a gambling and numbers hole-in-the-wall in Jacobsville.

When the community discovers the truth of the alleged crime, they devise a way to get Gideon out of jail, but their actions could mean life or death for everyone involved.

She dreams of Harlem, Cotton Clubs, Fancy Dresses, and Langston Hughes. For years, she's sat under Mr. Oak, the big oak tree on the plush green grass of her families five acres, and daydreamed of The Black Mecca.

Despite her parent's staunch protest, Nora finds herself in Jacobsville, New York, a small town forty-five minutes outside of Harlem.

As the couple embarks on a frightening and gut wrenching search for Nora, they are each stalked by their own traumatic past. Meanwhile, Nora learns that the North is not all it's cracked up to be. Can Gideon and Molly overcome their disturbing past in time to find their daughter before it's too late?"--Back cover.
