<p>A Good Neighborhood</p>
<p>INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * One of NPR's Best Books of 2020</p>
<p>"A provocative, absorbing read." ― People</p>
<p>“A feast of a read... I finished A Good Neighborhood in a single sitting. Yes, it’s that good.” ―Jodi Picoult, 1 New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and A Spark of Light</p>
<p>In Oak Knoll, a verdant, tight-knit North Carolina neighborhood, professor of forestry and ecology Valerie Alston-Holt is raising her bright and talented biracial son, Xavier, who’s headed to college in the fall. All is well until the Whitmans―a family with new money and a secretly troubled teenage daughter―raze the house and trees next door to build themselves a showplace.</p>
<p>With little in common except a property line, these two families quickly find themselves at odds: first, over an historic oak tree in Valerie's yard, and soon after, the blossoming romance between their two teenagers.</p>
<p>Therese Anne Fowler's A Good Neighborhood asks big questions about life in America today―what does it mean to be a good neighbor? How do we live alongside each other when we don't see eye to eye?―as it explores the effects of class, race, and heartrending love in a story that’s as provocative as it is powerful.</p>
