Riding through the West End neighborhood where she and her sister were born, Amelia makes a confession that will alter both their lives. A story of love, sisterhood, and a mother's final gift of wisdom, Babylon Sisters takes readers back to the neighborhood that Pearl Cleage introduced in Some Things I Never Thought I'd Do for another story rich in the complex characterizations and ear-pleasing dialogue that make Cleage's work unique among contemporary African American novelists. |

| Publisher Description: Catherine Sanderson and her daughter, Phoebe, have always been as close as a mother and daughter could be, except for one secret between them: the identity of Phoebe's father. Catherine, busy working with refugee and immigrant women through her small firm, Babylon Sisters, has taken on a powerful new client. She doesn't have much time for Phoebe's complicated questions of paternity--that is, until Phoebe's real father, B. J., a renowned investigative reporter, shows up in town to work on a story connected to Catherine. Now she must finally reveal the truth she's been withholding from Phoebe for eighteen years, bringing them all together in ways they never could have imagined. |
