Publisher's Synopsis
From behind the battered doors of an apartment block, come the stories of a chorus of courageous black women. Each has suffered knocks and setbacks, each has lived a life defined by social deprivation, each has finally found herself here - in Brewster Place. From stoic Mattie to sassy Etta, from righteous Kiswana to baby-mad Cora Lee, the women of Brewster Place are united in their resilience, their humanity and their collective ambition for brighter futures.
