WMPL Book Discussion with Head of Reference, Kathleen Gaskin The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store, by James McBride. Wednesday, February  5, 2025, 2:30 In-House, 7:00 pm on Zoom. 1972. A skeleton was found at the bottom of a well, and the residents of small-town Chicken Hill have long held the secret of the murder mystery. Also, in this marginalized neighborhood, immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side with shared ambitions and sorrows, coming together to keep a deaf boy safe when the state came looking for him to institutionalize him.  When the truth is finally revealed about the murder, McBride, with his masterly storytelling skills and deep faith in humanity, shows that even in dark times, it is love and community - heaven and earth - that sustain us.
