Synopsis:<\/strong>

Running into a long-ago friend sets memory from the 1970s in motion for August, transporting her to a time and a place where friendship was everything\u2014until it wasn\u2019t. For August and her girls, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant\u2014a part of a future that belonged to them.<\/p>\n

But beneath the hopeful veneer, there was another Brooklyn, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways, where ghosts haunted the night, where mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion.<\/p>\n

Like Louise Meriwether\u2019s Daddy Was a Number Runner and Dorothy Allison\u2019s Bastard Out of Carolina, Jacqueline Woodson\u2019s Another Brooklyn heartbreakingly illuminates the formative time when childhood gives way to adulthood\u2014the promise and peril of growing up\u2014and exquisitely renders a powerful, indelible, and fleeting friendship that united four young lives.<\/p>\nGet the Book:<\/strong> Amazon<\/a>\r\n
