Bookroo's summary

Margaret and Maizon's friendship faces change on Madison Street. With new neighbor Caroline joining their circle, Margaret seeks solitude. Yet, a looming event threatens to redefine Maizon's world. As tensions rise, will their bond withstand the test? Discover the complexities of friendship and identity in a world where change is the only constant.

From the publisher

Margaret and Maizon are back together on Madison Street, but their friendship is different now. Margaret needs more time alone, and it’s not just the two of them any more-their new neighbor and classmate, Caroline, has become part of their lives. But that seems minor next to what is about to happen to Maizon. . . . “Woodson’s candid assessments of relations between blacks and whites are as searching as ever, and her characters just as commanding.” (Publishers Weekly)
