A lot is changing on Alder Avenue in Detroit, 1958, and it's not just that Grace is having a baby. The working class white neighborhood is changing with new neighbors moving in, men losing their jobs at the local factory, and vandalism becoming a daily occurrence. The recent murder of a black woman near the factory where their husbands work put on the women on edge, but then the disappearance of Elizabeth, a young woman with a child's mind, pushes everyone over the edge.
There's a lot going on in this novel of secrets and lies in suburbia. Most of it is tied up in the end, and overall, it's an engrossing book.
