paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. New York. 1992. February 1992. Dell. 1st Dell Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0440211379. 181 pages. paperback. keywords: Caribbean Trinidad Literature Women African American America World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Edith Jackson lived in Peekskill, New York, with…her three sisters, two foster brothers, and her foster mother, Mother Peters. Soon she would be eighteen, and when she left high school, she swore, she would take her sisters and give them a home of their own. But then she met Mrs. Bates, a retired lawyer, who laughed at Edith's ambition and gave her the reasons she felt Edith would fail. Edith hated Mrs. Bates for her preaching and wanted to stop visiting her comfortable, disheveled home. But if she did, she would lose her chance to see ' 'Mr. Brown again, Mrs. Bates's handsome nephew. Meanwhile, Edith's sisters were making plans of their own - and they were not the same as Edith's. Bessie with the mussy eyes had begun to cuddle up to Uncle Daniels, Mother Peters' friend, and bright Minnie was hoping Mrs. Cramer, the mother of her best friend, would adopt her. Only Suzy, like Edith herself, seemed to have nowhere to go. Finally Mr. Brown gave Edith the loving she wanted, and she set her sights on marriage and a real home for her sisters. With insight and sensitivity, Rosa Guy tells the moving story of Edith's search for and security. Her compassion for the abandoned ones among us overwhelms this realistic novel about the failures of the institutions of America, whether church, school, or welfare. Ultimately, Edith learns, people must take the responsibility for shaping their own destinies, as the structure of caste and class in society leaves each of us on our own. inventory #47918.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
