OverviewThis collection of interrelated stories spans the history of Homewood, a Pittsburgh community founded by a runaway slave. With stunning lyricism, Wideman sings of dead children in garbage cans, of gospel and basketball, of lost gods and dead fathers (John Leonard). It is a celebration of people who, in the face of crisis, uphold one another--with grace, courage, and dignity.
