A page-turner. Richly wrought prose and intimate, vivid dialogue. A . "Entertainment Weekly"
For over fifty years the Turners have lived on Yarrow Street. Their house has seen thirteen children get grown and gone and some return; it has seen the arrival of grandchildren, the fall of Detroit s East Side, and the loss of a father. But when their powerful mother falls ill, the Turners are called home to decide their house s fate and to reckon with how their past haunts and shapes their future. "The Turner House" is a striking examination of the price we pay for our dreams, and the ways in which our families bring us home.
