In 2016, Lawrence Jackson accepted a new job in Baltimore. His new neighborhood, Homeland—largely White, built on racial covenants—is not where he is “supposed” to live. But his purchase, and his desire to pass some inheritance on to his children, provides a foundation for him to explore his personal and spiritual history and Baltimore’s untold stories. Shelter: A Black Tale of Homeland, Baltimore is an extraordinary biography of a city and a celebration of our capacity for domestic thriving, which establishes Jackson as a maverick, essential writer. Pick up your copy today!
