Wendy, whose secret birth name is Zena, is a negro-identified woman who is passing for white. Suddenly, on a white hot day in August, she crosses paths with her black husband from the past. "Wendy and Brian Sims, self-described 'night school loners from Fort Wayne, ' on a roll at the big Detroit auto trade show of 1957, have just been crowned 'Autorama Couple of the Year.' With Brian's career in orbit as his company's leading salesman of automotive accessories and plate glass, and lovely, Southern-belle Wendy basking in the glow of her burgeoning pregnancy, these two 'comers' are destined to realize their American dream of 'making ourselves out of nothing.' Or are they?" -Naomi Siegel, Montclair Times
