The final novel in the award-winning Finding Langston trilogy from Coretta Scott King Author Honoree and Scott ODell Award medalist Lesa Cline-Ransome . Clem can make anybody, even his grumpy older sisters, smile with his jokes. But when his family receives news that his father has died in the infamous Port Chicago disaster, everything begins to fall apart. Clems mother is forced to work long, tough hours as a maid for a wealthy white family. Soon Clem can barely recognize his home--and himself. Can he live up to his fathers legacy? In her award-winning trilogy, Lesa Cline-Ransome masterfully recreates mid-twentieth century America through the eyes of three boys: Langston, Lymon, and, now, Clem. Exploring the impact of the Great Migration, the Harlem Renaissance, Jim Crow laws, and much more, Lesas work manages at once to be both an intimate portrait of each boy and his family as well as a landscape of American history.
