This is my second time reading this book. I enjoyed the short stories that take place in this one neighborhood. You can to see the connection between the neighbors and all that takes place within that community. You have characters that own their own businesses in a black neighborhood. You have characters willing to go to the extreme for someone they love. You have an authoritative figures family willing to take time to actually get to know someone in the neighborhood. You also have a community willing to come together not only to celebrate with one another but support and help each other if needed.
