{"product_id":"leaving-atlanta","title":"Leaving Atlanta","description":"From the author of the Oprah's Book Club Selection An American Marriage, here is a beautifully evocative novel that proves why Tayari Jones is \"one of the most important voices of her generation\" (Essence).\n\nIt was the end of summer, a summer during the two-year nightmare in which Atlanta's African-American children were vanishing and twenty-nine would be found murdered by 1982. Here fifth-grade classmates Tasha Baxter, Rodney Green, and Octavia Harrison will discover back-to-school means facing everyday challenges in a new world of safety lessons, terrified parents, and constant fear.\n\nThe moving story of their struggle to grow up-and survive- shimmers with the piercing, ineffable quality of childhood, as it captures all the hurts and little wins, the all-too-sudden changes, and the merciless, outside forces that can sweep the young into adulthood and forever shape their lives.\n\nPRAISE FOR TAYARI JONES\n\"Tayari Jones is blessed with vision to see through to the surprising and devastating truths at the heart of ordinary lives, strength to wrest those truths free, and a gift of language to lay it all out, compelling and clear.\" -- Michael Chabon\n\n\"Tayari Jones has emerged as one of the most important voices of her generation.\" -- Essence\n\n\"One of America's finest writers.\" -- Nylon.com\n\n\"Tayari Jones is a wonderful storyteller.\" -- Ploughshares\nspan\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0446690899\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0446690899.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Jones, Tayari\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in excellent condition.
