As someone who is born and raised inner-city, reading a fictional story about gentrification was hard for me at times. Some parts hit close to home, others I kind of rolled my eyes at the outrageousness of certain scenarios. Nonetheless, I have always enjoyed Nathan McCall as a story-teller. I wouldn't reference this story as a way of saying that this is typically how neighborhoods become integrated, but it was a good story of what happened to these particular people.
