 | Only Twice I've Wished by Dawn Turner Trice
This story of love, revenge, and murder takes place in 1975 and is told from the point of view of Tempestt Saville, an 11-year-old girl whose family has just been chosen by lottery to move on up to Lakeland: one square mile of rich, black soil carved out of a Chicago ghetto. Only an ivy-covered, wrought-iron fence separates this haven for elite black urban professionals from the housing projects and row upon row of battered brownstones on the other side. Temmy finds this second landscape more intriguing and is a clear-eyed witness to the flavorful contrasts, the social ambiguities, and the tragic ironies separating the two cultures.
