Kathy Greenberg Battle, a white sophomore at a small mid-western university, is determined to join the sole African-American sorority on campus in 1963. She is a “military brat” who was adopted at fourteen by her father’s best friend, an African-American who served with him in the Air Force. Kathy would like to honor her adopted mother, who is a member of the sorority by also becoming a “Daughter”

. Her unique life
has made her identify and feel comfortable with “Black culture.” If admitted Kathy would be the first non-Black to be a member of the traditionally African-American sorority. She attempts to recruit a sponsor, Rhonda, one the officers of the sorority chapter. Clara, the dean of pledges, has an implicit bias against Kathy, and rationalizes her actions in her determination to thwart Kathy’s attempt to become one of the
“Daughters of the Kush,” the African identity for the sisters of Kappa Lambda Nu. An unexpected tragedy occurs when one of the “Daughters” succumbs to the volatile mixture of jealousy and power as the self-assigned defender of “The Daughters of the Kush.”
