Paperback. Zustand: Fair. In 1975, Tempestt Saville and her family are chosen by lottery to move on up to Lakeland: one square mile of sparkling apartment towers and emerald lawns where the Black elite live sheltered from the ghetto by a ten-foot-tall, ivy-covered wrought-iron fence.

Tempestt's curiosity soon leads her down a dangerous path, however, and after witnessing the death of a friend, she sets into motion a chain of events that will send 35th Street up in flames.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. From the author of the highly acclaimed Only Twice I've Wished for Heaven, a new novel about the strong ties and haunting memories that bind family and friends in a small town. Narrated by a chorus of voices, An Eighth of August tells the story of a Midwestern community that celebrates the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation year after year. Celebrants from come near and far to pay tribute to the rich heritage of the former slaves who settled the Illinois town.
