Seven Black women live in the dead-end street of Brewster Place — an alley walled off from the rest of the city — and each brings her own story of struggle, love and community. Naylor's debut won the American Book Award and explores the specific forms of resilience and pain in a Black urban community that the mainstream world has literally walled off.
