The Talking Drum
by Lisa Braxton
It is 1971 in the fictional city of Bellport, Massachusetts, and three young couples are facing these and other challenges that will have a profound effect on them as they navigate life in an urban community.
“With an insider’s eye for nuance, Lisa Braxton captures both the powerlessness and the resilience of communities threatened by urban development. At once tragic and hopeful, The Talking Drum is a heartfelt exploration of the deep roots of gentrification, brimming with vitality and richly drawn characters.”-–Wil Medearis, author of Restoration Heights
The Talking Drum is the winner of a Shelf Unbound Indie Book Award, a National Association of Black Journalists Outstanding Literary Award, IPPY gold medal in Urban Fiction, Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award, and an International Book Award.
