Frustrated by the limitations of cross-race communication in her predominantly white town, a young African American gal instructs herself to sign. Years later, Laurel uproots her man and daughters of their downwardly mobile, overeducated, and underpaid life in the South End of Boston for Cortland Region, Massachusetts. The Freemans are to take part in an test: They've been hired by a private research institute to instruct sign words to a chimpanzee. Told mainly from the point of view of Laurel's elder girl, Charlotte, the novel shifts in time from the first 1990s to the founding of the institute in the 1930s to the present day. With words both beautiful and accessible, Greenidge examines that time in each person's life when we realize the items we thought were normal may be anything but.
