A young black girl watches as her aunt’s multiple suitors disrupt her family’s privacy. The same girl, now on the cusp of adulthood, shares her family’s growing fears that her father has disappeared. Acclaimed author Ann Petry penned these and the other unforgettable narratives in Miss Muriel and Other Stories more than seventy years ago, yet in them contemporary readers recognize characters who exist today and dilemmas that recur again and again: the reluctance of African Americans to seek help from the police, the rage that erupts in a black man worn down by brutality, the tyranny that the young can visit on their elders regardless of race.

"Brown Girl, Brownstones" by Paule Marshall
Book 3: The War
This book begins with a conversation between Silla and a group of other women, which Silla vexes about her argument with Deighton about the land in Barbados. However, Selina eavesdrops and is caught. Silla threatens Selina and instructs her to not let Deighton on to her schemes. However, Selina remains doubtful of her mother and decides to let her father know about Silla's plans. This leads to a conflict between her and her sister Ina.
Feeling lost and ostracized by all her family members, Selina decides to confide in Miss Thomson. Miss Thomson reassures Selina, but decides to take matters into her own hands and confronts Silla about her plans. This turns out be in vain as it is revealed that Silla had already sold the land for 900 dollars by forging letters to Deighton's sister in Barbados and instructing her on the sale of the land. Seeing that her actions cannot be reversed, Deighton reacts in spite by spending all the proceeds from the sale on luxurious gifts.
Words of Deighton's actions spreads among the Barbadian community in Brooklyn and he is made a pariah. He then proceeds to work in a factory for a short period of time but loses an arm in an accident, and finds peace in a cult led by a certain Father Peace. This however, leads to calls for his deportation. It is later revealed in Book 3 that he drowns after falling off the boat on his way back to Barbados.
