When 11-year-old Langston s mother dies in 1946, he and his father leave rural Alabama for Chicago s brown belt.

This was a joy to read and while heavy at times, it was easy to read and get through. It flowed so well.
I listened to this one and the narrator was magnificent. It sounded natural and I found myself listening and staring off into space. I should probably also admit here that I've never read anything by Langston Hughes, but the joy, love, and amazement Langston has for the author's work comes across so vividly that I'm determined to read a collection by him.
This story grabbed me – which I wasn't completely expecting since I tend to not read American Historical Fiction.
100% recommend to all older youths and for anyone who likes historical fiction.
