Another Brooklyn
A Novel
Jacqueline Woodson
Running into a long ago friend sets memory in motion for August, a woman who once lived in a Brooklyn where friendship was everything — until it wasn’t anymore. For August and her girls, Brooklyn was a place where they believed as they walked the streets and confided in each other, that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant — a part of a future that belonged to them. But beneath the veneer, there was another Brooklyn, a dangerous place where men reached for them in dark hallways, where ghosts haunted their nights and mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion.
