When Cleo Henderson divorces with a small son to support, she seeks a job as a healthcare worker. She is assigned to Zackary Hughes, an elderly white supremacist. Zachary is a complaining, gravelly voiced curmudgeon who requested a white woman; he is taken aback when Cleo shows up on the first day. Forever hopeful, Cleo works hard to help the old man.
Soon she meets Clarence Delacroix. They marry; tragedy follows.
Angus Dunne, the grocery boy, always lurking in the background, takes center stage when he meets a green-eyed beauty and faces down some long-held beliefs.
The Color of Hope is filled with fascinating characters who all struggle with the fast- moving social changes of the second decade in the 21st Century.
