This novel from the National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming is a look back on four friends' fifteenth year: the year that changed them all forever.
Against the backdrop of a changing neighborhood and a changing world, four brown teenage girls are figuring out their lives. Their dreams of modeling, lawyering, dancing, and writing feeling very real until "the most beautiful among us" becomes pregnant. Suddenly, the world is different, more dangerous, their vulnerability more evident, and their dreams of success begin to feel like part of "another Brooklyn, a different time."
