	Promise is forged in a crucible of irrational violence and darkness that paradoxically gives birth to luminous, resilient love. This is a novel so potent, written in such transcendent prose, one wonders if it's secretly a magic spell. It's a stunning achievement
Other text	Two Black sisters growing up in small-town New England fight to protect their home, their bodies, and their dreams as the civil right movement sweeps the nation.
