520    "The three girls formed an indelible bond: roaming their 
       community in search of hidden treasures for their "Thing 
       Finder box," and hiding under the dining room table, 
       eavesdropping as three generations of relatives gossiped 
       and played the numbers. 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.
