THE RUNAWAY NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • A NEW YORK TIMES READERS PICK: 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY
WINNER OF THE 2024 LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PRIZE FOR AMERICAN FICTION
FROM ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE OF 2024
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR/FRESH AIR, WASHINGTON POST, THE NEW YORKER, AND TIME MAGAZINE
ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2023
“A murder mystery locked inside a Great American Novel . . . Charming, smart, heart-blistering, and heart-healing.” —Danez Smith, The New York Times Book Review
“We all need—we all deserve—this vibrant, love-affirming novel that bounds over any difference that claims to separate us.” —Ron Charles, The Washington Post
From James McBride, author of the bestselling Oprah’s Book Club pick Deacon King Kong and the National Book Award–winning The Good Lord Bird, a novel about small-town secrets and the people who keep them
In 1972, when workers in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, were digging the foundations for a new development, the last thing they expected to find was a skeleton at the bottom of a well. Who the skeleton was and how it got there were two of the long-held secrets kept by the residents of Chicken Hill, the dilapidated neighborhood where immigrant Jews and African Americans lived side by side and shared ambitions and sorrows. Chicken Hill was where Moshe and Chona Ludlow lived when Moshe integrated his theater and where Chona ran the Heaven & Earth Grocery Store. When the state came looking for a deaf boy to institutionalize him, it was Chona and Nate Timblin, the Black janitor at Moshe’s theater and the unofficial leader of the Black community on Chicken Hill, who worked together to keep the boy safe.
As these characters’ stories overlap and deepen, it becomes clear how much the people who live on the margins of white, Christian America struggle and what they must do to survive. When the truth is finally revealed about what happened on Chicken Hill and the part the town’s white establishment played in it, McBride shows us that even in dark times, it is love and community—heaven and earth—that sustain us.
Bringing his masterly storytelling skills and his deep faith in humanity to The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store, James McBride has written a novel as compassionate as Deacon King Kong and as inventive as The Good Lord Bird.

Buy the Insurance
I had to use my insurance plan to replace my iPad case. Initially I was sent back to the merchant because I was supposed to be covered under their warranty but to no avail. Once I informed Asurion they sent me the return label along with the instructions which were extremely easy to follow. I selected my drop off location after packing the case back up and within 24-48 hours I received my refund.
Now the one downside I do not like (and it may be user error) was that the funds went to my Amazon account as a gift card. It says you can transfer the funds to your bank card from there but I did not see that option nor was it easy to find. So maybe adding instructions on how to transfer from the gift card back to your original form of payment in an easy to locate/navigate location would make this a 5 star ⭐️ review.
Overall, for what I paid for the insurance versus what I would have paid to replace the case is worth the value of the plan for my money in my books!
Smart shoppers protect their money! I will ALWAYS add the insurance when it is offered. I am seriously contemplating just doing the monthly payment for the amount of stuff I buy from here.
In other words buy the insurance… It’s totally worth it!

Very easy to start a claim!!
Asurion is the best insurance you can buy. It's very easy to start a claim; a label is included for free shipping of the product. A gift card is electronically provided a few days after you send the product back. I love it.

waste of money, do not buy for Razer mice
bought this for my Razer Basilisk V3, absolute waste of money. Buttons 4 and 5 stopped working on my mouse and they want me to send it in to be inspected for repairs before they issue anything. so basically you're out of a mouse for potentially up to a month (can take 2 weeks for inspection, not including shipping time to get there). this mouse only cost me 40 dollars and some odd tax and they want me to send it in for inspection. So basically i have to buy a new mouse while i wait for this one to be "fixed" or for them to send me a giftcard to buy a replacement. So what's the point if I end up having to buy a new mouse out of pocket while i wait? Just don't bother with it.
