"Guess what!" Selina exclaimed, confronting her grandmother and father, who were enjoying mugs of coffee at the kitchen table. They stopped their conversation and faced her expectantly. "Molly and me just saw two white men over at the Jenkins's house. They looked as if they might be from the city. They walked all over the property and checked the well, then they went inside with Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins. What do you think they wanted?" There was complete silence for a good half minute before Grandma banged down her coffee mug and uttered a long, low wail, quite the saddest sound Selina had ever heard. The old lady then pulled her apron over her face and laid her head on the table, sobbing as if her heart would break.

Reseña del editor

In mid-1960s Halifax, 12-year-old Selina is growing up in a tightly knit community of African-Canadians whose days are numbered when ugly rumours surface about the fate of Africville.
