In Search of Satisfaction

In Search of Satisfaction unfolds in Yoville, "a legal township founded by the very rich for their own personal use," whose beguiling history is inextricably linked to one man, a freed slave names Josephus, and his two daughters. Ruth is born to a hard-working mother and seems destined for a life of material poverty enriched by family. Yinyang, Josephus's daughter by the alcoholic mistress of the manse, weaves in and out of spiritual awareness, alternately deceiving and being deceived by those who need her. In seeking the legacy left by their father, Ruth and Yinyang pull each other, their families, and their Yoville neighbors into a vortex of ever-powerful emotion.
