Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshes theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe. As these characters stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the towns white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community--heaven and earth--that sustain us. Bringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird. 521 $a Adult. 538 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 650 0 $a Jews $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a African Americans $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Deaf children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ethnic neighborhoods $z Pottstown $z Pottstown $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Neighbors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Minorities $v Fiction. 651 0 $a United States $x Ethnic relations $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Social problem fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Hoffman, Dominic, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 6 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012433.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240206011301.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011128.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240106010239.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240104010410.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231202012511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=177A8E9490E311EEA8442A1A39ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
