 ></strong></p>\n<p>They were three Black girls. Dawn is tall and studious.
  Her sister\, Kim\, is younger by three years and headstrong. Dawn's best 
 friend\, Debra\, was already prom-queen pretty by third grade. They bonded
  as they roamed the concrete landscape of Bronzeville\, a historic neighbo
 rhood on Chicago&rsquo\;s South Side. This was the destination of hundreds
  of thousands of Black folks who fled the ravages of the Jim Crow South.</
 p>\n<p>These third-generation daughters of the Great Migration come of age
  in the 1970s\, in the warm glow of the recent civil rights movement. It h
 as offered them a promise that they will have more opportunities\, rights 
 and freedoms than any generation of Black Americans in history. But the gi
 rls have much more immediate concerns: hiding under the dining room table 
 and eavesdropping on grown folks&rsquo\; business\; collecting secret trea
 sures\; and daydreaming about their futures. Then fate intervenes\, sendin
 g them careening in wildly different directions. There&rsquo\;s heartbreak
 \, loss\, displacement and even murder.</p>\n<p><em>Three Girls from Bronz
 eville</em>&nbsp\;is a memoir that chronicles Dawn&rsquo\;s attempt to fin
 d answers. It&rsquo\;s a celebration of sisterhood\, a testimony to the un
 ique struggles of Black women\, and a tour-de-force about the complex inte
 rplay of race\, class and opportunity\, and how those forces shape our liv
 es and our capacity for resilience and redemption.</p>\nhttps://tscpl.libn
