In the finale to the acclaimed trilogy, upheaval in Zora Neale Hurston' s family and hometown persuade her to leave childhood behind and find her destiny beyond Eatonville. For Carrie and her best friend, Zora, Eatonville--America' s first incorporated Black township--has been an idyllic place to live out their childhoods. But when a lynch mob crosses the town' s border to pursue a fugitive and a grave robbery resuscitates the ugly sins of the past, the safe ground beneath them seems to shift. Not only has Zora' s own father--the showboating preacher John Hurston--decided to run against the town' s trusted mayor, but there are other unsettling things afoot, including a heartbreaking family loss, a friend' s sudden illness, and the suggestion of voodoo and zombie-ism in the air, which a curious and grieving Zora becomes all too willing to entertain. In this fictionalized tale, award-winning author Victoria Bond explores the end of childhood and the bittersweet goodbye to Eatonville by preeminent author Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960). In so doing, she brings to a satisfying conclusion the story begun in the award-winning Zora and Me and its sequel, Zora and Me: The Cursed Ground, sparking inquisitive readers to explore Hurston' s own seminal work.

In the third and final volume of Zora and Me, readers are treated to a lustrous look at several facets of the anthropologist, folklorist, and novelist Zora Neale Hurston. . . . I sing the praises of what Victoria Bond has imagined and crafted here, both in deference to my aunt and as a way of honoring Zora' s legacy. --Lucy Hurston, niece of Zora Neale Hurston
