Summers That Change Everything
When eleven-year-old Genie Harris and his fourteen-year-old brother Ernie leave Brooklyn for rural Virginia, they're stepping into more than just "country country" life-they're walking into a web of family history they never knew existed. While their parents try to salvage their marriage in Jamaica, the boys find themselves adjusting to a world where collecting dog poop becomes a daily chore, grits taste like sand until sweetened with "magic dust" sugar, and the sweltering heat makes Brooklyn summers feel mild by comparison. But the most jarring adjustment isn't the rural setting-it's the palpable tension between their father and grandfather that nobody seems willing to explain. At their first breakfast, Dad keeps his distance, eating at the counter rather than joining the family table. When he offers to help fix the old house, Grandpop proudly refuses: "I built this place with my own hands." The exchange reveals the complicated pride and stubbornness that will shape the boys' summer more than they could possibly imagine.
