Overview
For Carrie and her best friend, Zora, EatonvilleāAmericaās first incorporated Black townshipāhas been an idyllic place to live out their childhoods. But when a lynch mob crosses the townās border to pursue a fugitive and a grave robbery resuscitates the ugly sins of the past, the safe ground beneath them seems to shift. Not only has Zoraās own fatherāthe showboating preacher John Hurstonādecided to run against the townās trusted mayor, but there are other unsettling things afoot, including a heartbreaking family loss, a friendās sudden illness, and the suggestion of voodoo and zombie-ism in the air, which a curious and grieving Zora becomes all too willing to entertain.
In this fictionalized tale, award-winning author Victoria Bond explores the end of childhood and the bittersweet goodbye to Eatonville by preeminent author Zora Neale Hurston (1891ā1960). In so doing, she brings to a satisfying conclusion the story begun in the award-winning Zora and Me and its sequel, Zora and Me: The Cursed Ground, sparking inquisitive readers to explore Hurstonās own seminal work.
