In the finale to the acclaimed trilogy, upheaval in Zora Neale Hurstons family and hometown persuade her to leave childhood behind and find her destiny beyond Eatonville.For Carrie and her best friend, Zora, Eatonville-Americas first incorporated Black township-has been an idyllic place to live out their childhoods. But when a lynch mob crosses the towns border to pursue a fugitive and a grave robbery resuscitates the ugly sins of the past, the safe ground beneath them seems to shift. Not only has Zoras own father-the showboating preacher John Hurston-decided to run against the towns trusted mayor, but there are other unsettling things afoot, including a heartbreaking family loss, a friends sudden illness, and the suggestion of voodoo and zombie-ism in the air, which a curious and grieving Zora becomes all too willing to entertain.In this fictionalized tale, award-winning author Victoria Bond explores the end of childhood and the bittersweet goodbye to Eatonville by preeminent author Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960). In so doing, she brings to a satisfying conclusion the story begun in the award-winning Zora and Me and its sequel, Zora and Me: The Cursed Ground, sparking inquisitive readers to explore Hurstons own seminal work.
