¡Adelante! Book Club
From an early age Anita Hemmings longed to attend Vassar College. But she is hiding a secret, and it’s one that may compromise her dream: She is African-American. With her light skin, Anita succeeds in passing as white and matriculating at Vassar, where she finds herself living with Lottie Taylor, the daughter of one of New York’s most prominent families. Pulling a reclusive Anita out of her shell, Lottie inadvertently puts her friend’s greatest secret at risk. A fictionalized account of the life of the first African American woman to graduate from Vassar College, The Gilded Years is a moving story of how one woman risked it all for the chance at a better life.
