Three Girls From Bronzeville - A Uniquely American Memoir of Race, Fate, and Sisterhood

Now in Paperback, Dawn Turner's THREE GIRLS FROM BRONZEVILLE is a riveting chronicle of the lives of three Black girls (her own, her sister's and her best friend) who come of age in storied Bronzeville, Chicago and the shocking turns of their fates; a penetrating exploration of race, opportunity, friendship and sisterhood and other powerful forces that allow some to flourish...and some to falter.
