When Ava Fodor returns to New York from Paris, she leaves behind her budding romance with Pierre and turns her attention to another man: her father, Zsolt Fodor. He's a Hungarian poet transplanted to New York in the wake of the failed 1956 Hungarian uprising.Raised by her maternal grandparents, Ava barely knows him. Dramatic, effusive, emotional, he's everything her New England grandmother disapproves of.
Yet his spellbinding conversation fascinates her. His chicken paprikash isn't bad either.When her father tells her black is not a color unless worn by a blonde, Ava's hooked. She senses this unusual man holds the key to the woman she wishes to become.
Pierre's pull draws Ava back to France, to the medieval walled city of Carcassonne. There, his tender care of his ailing mother awakens Ava to something lacking in herself. Unless she finds it, she can't give him her heart.
When her father has a heart attack, Ava is thrust into a caregiver role, looking after a man who never looked after her. She's no Florence Nightingale. Her father forgives her. But can she forgive him?
Until she learns to love the man she has every reason to abandon in his hour of need, she can't move on. Only her father can show her the way.
Black is Not a Color is Part II of The Ava Series: Ava Fodor's journey of self discovery, begun in Paris Adieu.
