Written in Kim McLarin's trademark bold and fearless voice, Jump at the Sun explores the personal insecurities and inadequacies of mothers and daughters, witnessed through the lives of three generations. Grace, a modern, self-made woman, swore she'd be different from her own mother, a woman who sacrificed her own needs to raise her children. Instead Grace finds herself on the verge of repeating some of the same mistakes as her grandmother, Rae, a child of the Jim Crow era who sacrificed her children to fulfill her own passions.
But Grace must find some way to balance the warring sides of her head and her heart. Because if she doesn't, her own young daughters may fall prey to the same ter-rible cycle.
