My Rating: 5 of 5 stars. (I'd give it 10 stars if possible)

In 1961, a mostly African American neighborhood is slated for demolition in the guise of urban development and progress. Though the residents come together to try and stop it, the dye is set. Loraylee Hawkins is a young woman who is caught between two worlds at a time of change, as she raises her son, Hawk, and cares for her aging Grandmother. She finds love, but that too is not an easy path because she is black, and he is white.

This is an amazing story. It made me laugh and cry. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. It ranks right up there with "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas. It is that good. If you read it, it will bless you.
