About this product

Product Information

In these fifteen superb stories, this essential author of African American fiction gives us compelling portraits of a wide range of unforgettable characters, from sassy children to cunning old men, in scenes shifting between uptown New York and rural North Carolina. A young girl suffers her first betrayal. A widow flirts with an elderly blind man against the wishes of her grown-up children. A neighborhood loan shark teaches a white social worker a lesson in responsibility. And there is more. Sharing the world of Toni Cade Bambara's "straight-up fiction" is a stunning experience.

  • Just Okay

    I hate giving bad or just okay reviews but this book didn't do it for me. I was not able to connect to any of the characters or any of the stories. Each story left me empty, I was hoping the next short story would be better but it did not happen. I don't even have a favorite story. Sorry this was not a good book for me.
