The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride

The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store (2023) is the story of a small, diverse community centered around the Jewish-owned Heaven and Earth Grocery store in Pottstown Pennsylvania in the 20s and 30s, and of the big events – love, death, murder, kidnapping – that mark the lives of the people connected to it.

Available at Boston Public Library, Minuteman Library System, Kindle and used on eBay.
