Third Girl From The Left

At the center of this dazzling novel is Angela, a twenty-year-old beauty who leaves the stifling conformity of Oklahoma to search for fame during the rise of blaxploitation cinema in Los Angeles. But for her mother, Mildred, a strait-laced survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race riots, Angela''s acting career 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 left unspoken in their lives. Bold and beautifully written, Third Girl from the Left deftly explores the bonds of family and the inextricable pull of the movies.>
