Exquisite! Such a beautifully written piece of work, it feels like poetry, it has an ethereal dreamy quality . . .

Running into a long-ago friend transported her to a time and a place where friendship was everything—until it wasn’t. For August and her girls, sharing confidences as they ambled through neighborhood streets, Brooklyn was a place where they believed that they were beautiful, talented, brilliant—a part of a future that belonged to them. But beneath the hopeful veneer, there was another Brooklyn, a dangerous place where grown men reached for innocent girls in dark hallways, where ghosts haunted the night, where mothers disappeared. A world where madness was just a sunset away and fathers found hope in religion. Jacqueline Woodson’s Another Brooklyn illuminates the formative time when childhood gives way to adulthood and exquisitely portrays a powerful, indelible, and fleeting friendship that united four young lives.
