Angela and Jinny are two sisters growing up in a loving home in a close-knit Black community in Philadelphia. But after the death of their parents, artistic and ambitious Angela decides to strike out for New York City alone, leaving behind her sister—and her identity as a Black woman. Mistaken for white, Angela enjoys newfound advantages and opportunities. But a dwindling bank account, an entanglement with Roger (one of the worst boyfriends ever penned in literature), and no one she can fully confide in leave Angela's reality falling far short of her dreams. Then comes the day when her two worlds (almost quite literally) collide, and Angela must pay a terrible price to keep living a lie.

So provocative and so very good, this coming-of-age novel explores what happens when we let other people tell us who we are—and what it takes to find our way home again.

Feel free to judge these books by their covers. And their French flaps. And their high-quality Munken paper. We put a lot of effort and time into making the physical books live up to the incredible stories inside them.

With that said, these books should last a really, really, really long time. Whether you're an annotator and page dog-earrer, or if you prefer your books pristine, our editions were crafted with each reader in mind. The spines lay completely flat without breaking so they'll look good on your shelf for years to come.

Each book comes hand-wrapped by one of our team members (it is usually Pip, she is the best at it.)

We strive to process and ship all orders in a timely manner, working diligently to ensure that your items are on their way to you as soon as possible.

The books we reprint are from another time and place. Some may contain language, social sensibilities, and racial depictions that are rightly jarring and objectionable, even abhorrent, to the modern reader, as they surely should have been to the readers and writers of the past.

While this note is not intended to serve as a trigger warning, it recognizes that we will not enter these pages equally and that our individual experiences will give rise to different interpretations of and unique interactions with the text. Real engagement is always emotional, deeply personal, and potentially painful.

We trust that you, dear Reader, come to these pages as practiced holders of nuance, ready to sit with the difficult questions that arise from challenging thoughts and texts. It is our sincere hope that we, as a thoughtful reading community, are inspired to engage with one another with curiosity, courage, and respect.
