The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

challenging emotional hopeful mysterious reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

It took me a bit to wrap my head around everything, but once I got there the story flowed.  What I got from this book is that a community that doesn’t have much will look after their own and even a small gesture could bring someone hope and will last a lifetime.
