Chapter 18: The Hot Dog
Chapter 18: The Hot Dog begins with Chona, one week after her assault, drifting between dreams and a painful reality. She lies in her hospital bed, barely tethered to the world, as fragments of a prayer from her childhood, Barukh She’amar, float through her consciousness like shimmering motes of light. These prayerful echoes remind her of Sabbath mornings beside her father, the comfort of ritual, and the warmth of faith long held. Her parched lips and whispered desire for water elicit a quiet response,…-

The community is facing not only emotional strain from Chona’s critical illness but also unexpected complications with their mikvah. When a massive bullfrog is discovered splashing in the sacred bath, it startles the congregants and sparks fresh controversy—especially for Mr. Hudson, a vocal new member from Buffalo who insists on a more lavish, professionally built mikvah, even offering a generous donation…-

Chapter 16: The Visit
Chapter 16: The Visit begins in a sterile hospital room in Reading, where Chona remains unconscious, her fragile state watched over by those closest to her. Though she cannot speak, her presence anchors Addie and Moshe, who trade brief but meaningful observations each morning. Addie insists she sees movement, slight signs of awareness, though doctors warn otherwise. Moshe, weary from his nighttime work at the theater and drained by grief, never questions her hope. His eyes remain locked on Chona’s face,…-

Chapter 15: The Worm
Chapter 15: The Worm opens with Fioria Carissimi, a woman not easily swayed by rumors, finding herself caught in a swirl of conflicting stories. The gossip that circulates through her local church group paints an unsettling picture—a Jewish woman and a deaf Black child entangled in a mysterious incident at a local store. Some claim the Jews tried to protect the child; others insist they called the police on him. These contradictions leave Fioria uneasy. Though she usually avoids town drama, this story…-

Chapter 14: Differing Weights and Measures begins at the edge of Pigs Alley, where Fatty, seated on a pile of scrap wood outside his jook joint, quietly surveys the night while wrestling with a growing concern. Inside, the laughter and lively tunes can't mask the unease he feels about Nate Timblin’s presence, a man whose silence speaks volumes. Nate’s quiet drinking masks a history few know in full—but Fatty remembers enough to sense the weight of danger simmering in that silence, especially with a…

Chapter 13: Cowboy
Chapter 13: Cowboy begins with Moshe leaning against the railing of the outdoor pavilion overlooking the Ringing Rocks skating rink, his mind lost in thought. Despite the laughter of teenage skaters and the soft snowfall around him, he feels distant and detached, clutching an unlit cigar. The cold bite of the winter air seems to match the bitterness in his heart, as he reflects on the series of events that have led him here. The natural beauty of the landscape, the sound of the rocks ringing when struck by…-

Chapter 12: Monkey Pants
Chapter 12: Monkey Pants was the first individual Dodo encountered in Ward C-1. Positioned in the adjacent steel crib, only a few inches separated them. This boy, perhaps around eleven or twelve years old, was contorted in a manner that Dodo had never seen before, appearing as if he had been twisted into an impossible knot. His body, thin and frail, was curled in a grotesque configuration: one leg reaching nearly to his face, the other lost among a tangle of arms and legs, his hand stretched out to cover…-

Chapter 11: Gone
Chapter 11: Gone was a moment that forever changed Dodo’s life. The faint flicker of the bulb in the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store marked the entrance of someone unexpected. Though the store typically had few visitors in the afternoon, this time was different. As Dodo stood on the trapdoor ladder leading to the basement, hidden behind the butcher’s case, he witnessed an unsettling scene. The moment Miss Chona moved to greet the visitor, her face betrayed fear, unlike anything Dodo had ever seen…-

Chapter 10: The Skrup Shoe
Chapter 10: The Skrup Shoe begins with Doc, whose knowledge of the Jewess hiding a Negro child had been passed on through family gossip. This particular rumor came from his cousin, Carl Boydkins, who worked for the state welfare office. The two families, the Robertses and Boydkins, had long-standing ties to the local community, with roots that, as they claimed, stretched back to the Mayflower. However, this lineage was nothing more than a fabricated story. In reality, their ancestors hailed from an…-

Chapter 9: The Robin and the Sparrow opens a delicate window into the quiet complexities that shape relationships within tightly knit, segregated communities. Bernice Davis, the woman next door to Chona's Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, was deeply woven into Chicken Hill's Black lineage—a lineage as dense and branching as any family tree, sprawling with cousins, step-relations, and mysterious parentages. Her connection to everyone and yet closeness to no one rendered her a paradox: known by all, but…
