Windsor Armstrong is a polished, Harvard educated, African American professor of Russian literature. Her son, Pushkin X, is an exceedingly famous pro-football player, an achievement that impresses his mother not at all. Even more distressing, however, is that her beloved son has just become engaged to a gorgeous white Russian émigré who also happens to be a lap dancer.
For Windsor, this is no laughing matter. Determined to get to the source of it, she embarks on a journey into her own rich past. As she moves ever closer to the secret that has cast a shadow over her life, she discovers that the half-lies she has fed her son don’t add up to the beauty of the truth.

“It’s hard to imagine a better match of novel and narration than this…Pitts throws herself into this performance, and her energy, wit, and sass seem wholly in sync…The originality of Randall’s novel and her confidence are breathtaking. But no less so is Pitts’s unstinting, head-long reading. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
(AudioFile)“Ruthless wit and riveting style.”
(O, the Oprah Magazine)“Provocative…utterly different, impressively original…An in-your-face exploration of what it means to be black in America.”
(Elle)“A stunningly gutsy, literate, and original novel.”
(Los Angeles Times)“Spicy soul food-for-thought.”
(Seattle Times)“Provocative…with this heady tale, Randall proves decisively that she is more than a parodist.”
(Publishers Weekly (starred review))“Highly inventive…[a] profoundly moving look at the complexities of race and family in the context of one woman’s search for reconciliation and redemption.”
