COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION
When Johnquell, an African American teen, suffers a serious
accident in the home of his white neighbor, Mrs. Czernicki, his
community must find ways to bridge divisions between black
and white, gay and straight, old and young. Set in one of the
nation 8217 s most highly segregated cities 8212 Milwaukee,
Wisconsin 8212 Meet Me Halfway tells stories of connections
in a community with a tumultuous and divided past. In nine
stories told from diverse perspectives, Jennifer Morales
captures a Rust Belt city 8217 s struggle to establish a
common ground and a collective vision of the future.
         &nbs
p Morales gives life to multifaceted characters 8212
white schoolteachers and senior citizens, Latino landlords,
black and Puerto Rican teens, political activists, and Vietnam
vets. As their lives unfold in these stories, we learn about
Johnquell 8217 s family 8212 his grandparents 8217
involvement in the local Black Panther Party, his sister 8217 s
on-again, off-again friendship with a white classmate, and his
aunt 8217 s identity crisis as she finds herself falling in love
with a woman. We also meet Johnquell 8217 s mother, Gloria,
and his school friend Taquan, who is struggling to chart his
own future.
         &nbs
p As an activist mother in the thick of Milwaukee politics,
Morales developed a keen ear and a tender heart for the kids
who have inherited the city 8217 s troubled racial legacy. With
a critical eye on promises unfulfilled, Meet Me Halfway raises
questions about the notion of a 8220 postracial 8221 society
and, with humor and compassion, lifts up the day-to-day work
needed to get there. Runner-up, Short Story/Anthology,
