Noonday, $11 (paperback reissue)

This beautifully crafted story of transcendence and strength tells of two sisters, growing up in the West and shuffled to different poor households. First, Ruth and Lucille live with their grandmother, then great-aunts and finally an eccentric aunt, the sister of their mother, who committed suicide.
