The book opens with J'nell informing the reader of the flaws of her hometown in Mississippi. From there she leads the read to New Orleans and her freshman year at Tulane University. The next two chapter's deal with her, and her lover, Gavin, discovering their parents are participants in the sexual revolution of the late 60's.
