The Turner House

by Angela Flournoy

The Turner House delves into the heart of an African-American family's journey over half a century in Detroit's East Side. The Turner family's home on Yarrow Street has been the backdrop for the lives of thirteen siblings, witnessing their struggles, triumphs, and the shifting dynamics within the once-thriving neighborhood. Faced with their matriarch Viola's health issues and the realization that their cherished home is now worth far less than its mortgage, the siblings are drawn back to confront their shared history and the fabric of their interconnected lives. In this exploration of legacy, memory, and the bonds of family, Angela Flournoy crafts a story that is as much about a city's rebirth as it is about the complex nature of kinship.
