The girls spent countless afternoons together, ice skating in the nearby Lake Meadows apartment complex, swimming in the pool at the Ida B. Wells housing project, and daydreaming of their futures : Dawn a writer, Debra a doctor, Kim a teacher. Then they came to a precipice, a fraught rite of passage for all girls when the dangers and the harsh realities of the world burst the innocent bubble of childhood, when the choices they made could-- and would-- have devastating consequences. There was a razor thin margin of error -- especially for brown girls. With a keen investigative eye and intimate detail, Dawn chronicles the dramatic turns that send their lives careening in very different -- and shocking -- directions over the decades. The result is a powerful tour de force on the complex interplay of race and opportunity, class and womanhood and how those forces shape our lives and our capacity for resilience and redemption"--|cProvided by publisher. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York|cSimon & Schuster Audio |d2021|nAvailable via World Wide Web. 600 10 Turner, Dawn. 600 10 Turner, Dawn|xFamily. 600 10 Turner, Kim,|d1968-1994|xChildhood and youth. 600 10 Trice, Debra. 650 0 African Americans|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 African American women|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Women|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Journalists|zIllinois|zChicago|vBiography. 650 0 Audiobooks. 651 0 Bronzeville (Chicago, Ill.)|vBiography. 651 0 Chicago (Ill.)|vBiography. 710 2 OverDrive, Inc.,|edistributor. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aTurner, Dawn.|tThree girls from Bronzeville|bFirst Simon & Schuster hardcover edition. |dNew York : Simon & Schuster, 2021|z9781982107734|w(DLC) 2021013757 856 40 |zAccess this title to use with your computer or mobile device using OverDrive.|uhttp://link.overdrive.com/ ?websiteID=316&titleID=6079652
