520    "In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were 
       digging the foundations for a new development, the last 
       thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom 
       of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were 
       two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of 
       Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant
       Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared 
       ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and 
       Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and 
       where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the
       state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him,
       it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at 
       Moshe's theater and the unofficial leader of the Black 
       community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the
       boy safe. As these characters' stories overlap and deepen,
       it becomes clear how much the people who live on the 
       margins of white, Christian America struggle and what they
       must do to survive. 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."--|cProvided by publisher.
