Them

Nathan McCall, the bestselling author of "Makes Me Wanna Holler," returns with "Them," a captivating novel of the disturbing realities of gentrification, and the delicate balance of class and race in America today. Barlowe Reed is an Afrian-American single father who rents a house on Randolf Street, Atlanta's once all-African-American neighborhood. But, when Sean and Sandy Gilmore, a young white couple move in next door, Barlowe's life is turned upside down by the deep and often enraging conversations they hold over the backyard fence. As more and more white people move into the area, and Barlowe tries to live his life normally, confusion builds as fear and suspicion color everyone's lives.
