In JAMES MCBRIDE’s The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store: A Novel, workers digging a foundation find a skeleton at the bottom of a well in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Who the skeleton was and how it got there are two long-held secrets kept by the residents of the town’s Chicken Hill neighborhood. And as the mystery unfolds we learn that it is love and community – heaven and earth – that sustain us. Moderating is TAMEKA BRADLEY HOBBES, library regional manager of the African American Research Library and Cultural Center at Broward County Library.
