The Women of Brewster Place

Brewster Place is a blind alley feeding into a dead end. Seven women have made their way there, each with her own story, her own goals and dreams. Each experiences, fights against--and sometimes transcends--the fate of black women in America today. The women of Brewster Place are hard-edged, soft-centered, brutally demanding, and easily pleased. In their stories, Gloria Naylor has created a community of women that has touched thousands of readers across the country.
