The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!
The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Exploring love amidst identity, class, and religion.
"True Believer," as your next read, invites you on a thoughtful journey with LaVaughn as she navigates complex emotions and the challenging dynamics of adolescence. Virginia Euwer Wolff crafts characters with depth, in a setting that brings to life the struggles and triumphs of growing up in a housing project. This tale is an insightful exploration of self-discovery and the intricate patterns of young love, couched within the oft-ignored realities of social class and gender identity — a beautifully written reminder of the poignant messiness of youth.
