...a powerful portrayal of seven black women living in a bleak inner-city neighborhood. Author Gloria Naylor reveals the cruelty of their lives without sacrificing their strengths and their hearts.

Chronicles the lives of several women living on Brewster Place--how then ended up there and the forging of friendships among them. You won't forget this book!

Been a while since I've read this, but I recall it as a well-written, poignant look into the lives of women brought together by the street on which they live. Reminded me of Amy Tan, just a bit.
