Arverne Book Club: "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" by James McBride
Join us this November at Arverne Library to discuss the book "The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store" by James McBride. In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania were digging the foundations for a new housing development, the last thing they expected to uncover was a human skeleton. Who the skeleton was and how it got buried there were just two of the long-held secrets that had been kept for decades by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side, sharing ambitions and sorrows. You can pick up a physical copy of the book at Arverne Library.
