Publisher's Note Coffee Will Make You Black, Sinclair's bestselling debut novel, introduced Stevie, a tough-talking, irresistible African-American girl growing up on Chicago's South Side during the time of the civil rights movement. Now Stevie returns, just graduated from college and ready to explore her new turf--San Francisco in 1971.
Industry Reviews "High-spirited and entertaining...emphasizes Sinclair's gift for lampooning America's peculiar social topography." San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Autumn Stephens (01/28/1996)
"A novel of identity politics, this sequel...poses the question of whether the heroine belongs to the lesbian, the African-American, the heterosexual, or the integrated community...While this tale has verve and readability, it is also as literal as a love comic." Stephens
