Right of Way

Right of Way

Cleave Springs is a gentrifying neighborhood in the shadow of the nation's capital. These insightful, humane, and beautifully crafted stories introduce us to the neighborhood's dazzling variety of characters-long-time survivors and new arrivals, preservationists and visionaries, black people and white people-as they navigate the complexities of diversity and change, and strive to realize a comforting vision of home. RIGHT OF WAY is the winner of the Washington Writers' Publishing House 2010 fiction prize.
