Description

When Langston's father moves him from their home in Alabama to Chicago's Bronzeville district, it feels like he's giving up everything he loves. It's 1946 and Langston is struggling to cope with the loss of his mother and the change in his life.

In a small apartment surrounded by noise and chaos, Langston finds solace in the city library, where he discovers a connection to his past through the poetry of another Langston. This chance encounter helps him find a sense of belonging and purpose in his new home.

Lesa Cline-Ransome's lyrical debut novel explores one boy's experiences during the Great Migration, offering a poignant and powerful story about resilience, loss, and finding one's place in the world.
