The Hiawassee Book Club will discuss The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride. Recommended for Adults.
1972: Workers unearth a skeleton in the small, close-knit community of Chicken Hill, Pennsylvania. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us.
