Germantown African American Authors Book Club- In-person

"The Last Summer on State Street: a novel" by Toya Wolfe

Join the Germantown African American Authors Book Club to discuss "The Last Summer on State Street: a novel" by Toya Wolfe.

The African American Authors Book Club will meet in the Meeting Room, located on the lower level of the library.

"Summer, 1999. Felicia "Fe Fe" Stevens lives with her mother and older teenaged brother in building 4950 of Chicago's Robert Taylor Homes. The high-rise is next in line to be torn down by the Chicago Housing Authority, and the neighborhood is beginning to fall down around them. Fe Fe is friends with Precious and Stacia, but when Fe Fe welcomes Tonya into their fold, the dynamics shift. Their friendships fray, as do the structures of the four girls' families. Fe Fe must make the painful decision of whom she can trust and whom she must let go. Decades later, remembering that fateful summer, Fe Fe tries to make sense of the grief and fraught bonds that still haunt her and attempts to reclaim the love that never left." -- adapted from jacket
