    I enjoyed reading this one. I have visited both Philadelphia and Washington DC, so I liked the locations. 1950’s America was so different for black Americans than today. I liked that as a reader I could see the differences in wealth, status, and potential. While so many novels seem stereotypical of that generation, this one did not. It was raw and heartbreaking. Definitely keep for the 1950’s.
