Zusammenfassung:"New England, 1957. The Kindred sisters--Ezra and Cinthy--grew up with an abundance of love. Love from their parents, who let them believe that the stories they tell on stars can come true. Love from their neighbors, the Junketts, the only other Black family in town, whose home is filled with spice-rubbed ribs and ground-shaking hugs. And love for their adopted hometown of Salt Point, a beautiful village perched high up on coastal bluffs. But as the girls hit adolescence, their maturing bodies and minds start to change the way their white neighbors see them. And as the news from elsewhere fills with calls for freedom, equality, and justice for Black Americans, the white villagers of Salt Point begin to view the Kindreds and the Junketts as a threat to their way of life. Amidst escalating violence, prejudice, and fear, bold Ezra and watchful Cinthy will reach deep inside the wells of love they've built to commit great acts of heroism and grace on the path to survival"--
