Summary

"In these ten stories, each set in the changing landscapes of contemporary New York City, a range of characters-- from children to grandmothers to ghosts-- live through the responsibility of perceiving and the moral challenge of speaking up or taking action. Though they strive to connect with, stand up for, care for, and remember one another, they often fall short, and the structures they build around these ambitions and failures shape their futures as well as the legacies and prospects of their communities and their cities"--, Adapted from jacket flap
