Description
In the leafy North Carolina community of Oak Knoll, two families with sharply different backgrounds become neighbors just as their children begin a romance that challenges the boundaries between them. A dispute over a beloved historic oak tree soon exposes deeper tensions involving race, class, privilege, ambition, and the competing visions of what makes a family—or a community—“good.” Told through multiple perspectives, this provocative contemporary novel explores the American dream, the fragility of justice, and the consequences of refusing to see one another clearly. Both intimate and socially incisive, it portrays one life-altering summer in which private choices collide with larger forces shaping American society.
