Soon, the ugliness of the Jim Crow South intrudes, and she's thrust into a movement for social change. Freda is reluctant to get involved, torn between a soon-to-be doctor her parents approve of and an audacious young man willing to risk it all in the name of justice. Freda finds herself caught between two worlds, and two loves, and must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice for the advancement of her people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1992 Chicago, Freda's daughter Tulip is an ambitious PR professional on track for an exciting career, if workplace politics and racial microaggressions don't get in her way.

When she makes an irreversible professional misstep as she seeks to uplift her community, she must decide, just like her mother had three decades prior, what she's willing to risk in the name of justice and equality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsightful, evocative, and richly imagined with stories of hidden history, \u003cem\u003ePeople of Means\u003c\/em\u003e is an emotional tour de force that offers a glimpse into the quest for racial equality, the pursuit of personal and communal success, and the power of love and family ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"People of Means \u003c\/em\u003eleft me breathless!
