Unabridged Audiobook
Alice wants what most wants, a better life. Even though this story took place in 1957, a lot of things still remain true today. Alice left the only home she knew and moved to the all-Black town of New Jessup, Alabama. In this town, they have rejected integration as a means for Black social advancement, at least for their side of the woods. They are doing great, but as history has shown time and time again, once Black people are thriving and flourishing without white people, it must be destroyed and stopped. While in New Jessup, she falls in love with Raymond, who is a part of the NAAS(something like the NAACP) that pushes for alternatives for enhancing New Jessup’s political power. They both had to distinguish between their friends and those who thought had their best intentions. This book highlighted Black joy, opposing viewpoints in desegregation, love, lies, betrayals, and much more. #Book6of2024 #Bookworm #Whatsnext
