Description

Set in Detroit’s East Side, this sweeping family drama follows the thirteen Turner children as they return to the Yarrow Street home where generations of memories, struggles, and hopes have taken root. With their aging mother no longer able to live alone and the house burdened by financial realities, the siblings must confront difficult questions about belonging, inheritance, and the changing city they call home. Angela Flournoy explores the bonds and tensions of a large African American family with warmth, humor, and emotional precision, illuminating how history, sacrifice, and unspoken dreams shape the futures we inherit.
