The follow-up novel from Off-Broadway playwright and award-winning
filmmaker, Dara Harper is set in the author's hometown, Detroit,
Michigan. This coming of age story follows 15-year-old Natalie
Tillman's journey from Thomasville, Georgia to the Motor City in
1959. She and her parents move into a crowded west side flat with
six other family members. Natalie struggles to adjust to life in
the north, busy streets, integrated schools, beautiful cars,
flirtatious men and freezing weather. The house overflows with
food, laughter and music. But there's also abuse, alcoholism and
painful secrets. When the unthinkable happens, Natalie is forced
into adulthood. Her tale reveals the consequences of honesty and
the burden of heroism.
