Summary:
An unborn child narrates this
novel
, which, through a minute exploration of the lives and loves of the residents of Dream Street in the town of
Place
, aims to unveil the vastness of human experience. At the heart of the
novel
is the narrator's future mother, Eula Too. Born to a poor African-American family in a small town outside of Chicago, Eula Too spent her early years caring for her numerous younger siblings, finding time to sneak away for lessons with a beloved teacher and letting an impotent chauffeur touch her for spending money. When she eventually flees home, hoping for a better life in Depression-era Chicago, she is raped and abandoned, only to be discovered by the rich owner of a high-class brothel. Madame LaFon takes Eula Too in, not as a future prostitute but as a friend. The years pass and Eula Too, now a loving, moral young woman, accompanies Madame to her hometown of
Place
, where she endeavors to turn the neighborhood into a haven of love and goodwill.
