Editorial Reviews

Product Description
It's been said that every girl "marries" her father. But there were no observable signs that Odessa Fenton would one day seek to do so as both Odessa and the father she knew were poor and Black while the man she would eventually come to love was not only married but well to do and White.This is a story about a post-Depression foster child who struggles to find social acceptance and professional success in the face of great odds.

About the Author
Norma Register is a Pittsburgh native though she makes her home in the Rocky Mountain West. She holds a strong academic background including two master's degrees and a doctorate in linguistics from the University of Wisconsin. She has taught both linguistics and English composition at the college level.

ODESSA is her debut novel though her proudest accomplishment is that of having raised three daughters.
