True account of the lives of Scott and Marcia Carter: Scott Carter, a fair-skinned African American, graduates from medical school, marries Marcia Mitchell, and moves to Georgia. When he arrives at the Black clinic in Georgia, he discovers that the job must inconveniently go to a Southerner. Discussions between two nurses at this clinic suggest that Scott's light skin may have some bearing on the decision not to hire him. Defeated but not conquered, Scott returns to Massachusetts to live with his in-laws until he can get employment. He tries unsuccessfully to obtain employment as an African American. Because Marcia is pregnant, Scott decides to take a job at Portsmouth Hospital, but he reluctantly does so as a white man. While there, he manages to save the life of Dr. Bracket, who encourages him to take a position in Keenham, New Hampshire, and he decides to continue "passing" for white. In Keenham, Dr. Scott Carter proves to be quite a success for the town. For 20 years, Dr. and Mrs. Carter live peacefully in Keenham with their son Howard and daughter Shelly. All goes well until Scott and Henry decide to enter the military during World War II: When Scott applies for officer status with the Navy, an investigation reveals his Black heritage, and he is barred from receiving a commission.
