Dowry
Young, beautiful and mysterious, Carrie Brown is known only from a distance by the residents of her Southern black community. Only Jimmy McCormack, a mechanic from the other side of the tracks, dares to challenge the barriers Carrie has erected. After a series of cool rebuffs to his attentions, she abruptly invites him to marry her. When their first child is born, the emotional legacy of Carrie's family re-emerges with a vengeance, threatening to destroy the fragile truce Carrie and Jimmy have constructed. Whitaker is one of a handful of black women publishing in the field of contemporary romance in 1989.
