Boston. 1994. Houghton Mifflin. 1st Printing. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0395671728. 260 pages. hardcover. Front jacket design by Michaela Sullivan. Front jacket illustration by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher. keywords: Literature America Women African American. FROM THE PUBLISHER-The Hay-Ti section of Durham, North Carolina-the 'colored' part of town-is a self-sufficient, middle-class enclave carefully guarding its fragile independence on the eve of integration. At the center of Hay-Ti's bustling prosperity is Sirus McDougald, president of the bank, a man whose integrity and warmth are matched by his sense of responsibility to the people he loves. But Sirus has suffered an unthinkable tragedy: the death of his young daughter, Mattie, in a fall from her slide. Mattie was his treasure, his heart, and with her death Sirus has lost all his dreams, all his hope, and all his will to fight. And so when Durham's white power brokers make an ominous incursion into Hay-Ti, endangering its cohesion, Sirus must rally himself to act. Strength can come only from one source-the people who are as much a part of him as his own skin and bones-but they, too, are badly shaken. Torn between private sorrow and public duty, Sirus makes a courageous decision that turns his grief to grace. Through its intimate glimpse of a close-knit black community that presciently viewed integration as both a promise and a threat, it poignantly recalls a way of life poised at an irreversible moment of change. inventory #25016.
