Colfax Avenue: Journalists and ex-models Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant will read from and sign their new novel Uptown ($14.99 Touchstone). After twenty years away, Avery Lyons returns to New York when her mother and uncle suffer a serious car accident. The tragedy brings the family together, but Avery is not happy about the impromptu reunion. She no longer recognizes the Harlem of her childhood, but the same old family dynamics and secrets are all too familiar. In Uptown a prominent Harlem family is strained to the breaking point by the high-stakes world of the Manhattan real estate industry, and one woman searches for her identity and the will to forgive. Steamy, provocative, and sexy, Uptown is a turbulent and triumphant read. Visit Virginia DeBerry & Donna Grant’s blog. Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
