Only Twice I Wished for Heaven
Dawn Turner Trice
Crown Publishers, $23
Trice’s first novel explores the life of a sheltered African-American girl in Chicago’s South Side in 1975 and how she faces divisiveness within the black community as well as racial bias. Eleven-year-old Tempesst suffers and survives in a world of violence and rage after witnessing the death of her best friend.
