Zora and me

"For Carrie and her best friend, Zora, Eatonville--America's first incorporated Black township--has been an idyllic place to live out their childhoods. But when a lynch mob crosses the town's border to pursue a fugitive and a grave robbery resuscitates the ugly sins of the past, the question of who should bear the blame for these trespasses becomes a hard duel between the town's first and only mayor and its charismatic preacher, the Reverend John Hurston, Zora's father. As Carrie and Zora watch their town, their friends, and their families struggle to find footing amid personal tragedy and civic unrest, they recognize that change is coming, whether they like it or not. It is time to leave childish things behind; it is time to take up the mantle of their destinies. For Zora, that means saying goodbye to Eatonville"--Provided by publisher.
