A stunning and moving anthology of stores, each of which focuses on an aspect of domestic abuse. This powerful collection is sure to serve as a wake-up call for people either dealing with a domestic abuse situation, or those watching someone else endure it.

This book made me think about how much domestic violence does exist in our society.

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. Eleven year old Tammy doesn't enjoy the privilege. Instead, she is drawn to the vivid world outside the fence to 35th Street, where the saved and the sinners are both so "done up" you can't tell one from the other.
