{"product_id":"a-sunday-in-june-phyllis-alesia-perry-9780786868070","title":"A Sunday in June","description":"The 20th century has just begun in the South and slavery still haunts. In a deep-woods region of Alabama, the tightening noose of Jim Crow is a rude indication of what white people really think of black people's 'freedom.' Still, the black population of Johnson Creek, Alabama, manages to live their lives with abiding faith and hope. The Mobleys--Frank and Joy--are among those who have pinned high hopes both on the future, and on their three daughters, Grace, Mary Nell, and Eva--hopes for good marriages and noble professions. Joy and Frank believe that the Negroes of Johnson Creek have just as much right to advance as anybody up North. But they must let go of the old ways. So they can only react with dismay when their girls show signs that they have 'the sight'--the gift of seeing the unseen, of knowing the past and future. Through their daughters' growing strangeness, Joy and Frank glimpse again the world of Joy's deceased mother, the former slave Ayo. While they do everything possible to discourage their daughters' connection with the past and future, the gift is not something that you can always give back and trying comes at a dear price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phyllis Alesia Perry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786868074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786868070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Central Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 5.78w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2003 pg. 1418\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 826\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2004 pg. 159\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/19\/2004 pg. 53\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEbony\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2004 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQbr the Black Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2004 pg. 6","brand":"Phyllis Alesia Perry","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153116377343,"sku":"9780786868070","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9c80f76b-a6bf-4f5d-b794-b96db23c6a67.jpg?v=1770781395","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-sunday-in-june-phyllis-alesia-perry-9780786868070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
