In 1972\, when workers in Pottstown\, Penn sylvania\, were digging the foundations for a new development\, the last t hing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill\, the dilapidated neighbourhood where imm igrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows.

\n

As these characters' stories overlap and deepen\, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins struggle and wha t they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what h appened on Chicken Hill and the part the town's white establishment played in it\, McBride shows us that even in dark times\, it is love and communi ty-heaven and earth-that sustain us.
