In \"False Cognates,\" a formerly incarcerated attorney struggles with raising the tuition to keep his troubled son in an elite private school. In \"There He Go,\" a young girl whose mother moves constantly clings to a picture of the grandfather she doesn't know but invents stories of his greatness. Characters spotlighted in one story reappear in another, providing a stunning testament to the enduring resilience of Black people as they navigate the \"post-racial\" period \u003cem\u003eThe Last Suspicious Holdout\u003c\/em\u003e so vividly portrays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Amistad","offers":[{"title":"Last Suspicious Holdout: Stories | Ladee Hubbard | Hardcover | 9780062979094 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1564436","offer_id":50585394577666,"sku":"1564436","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/9179Zz2qrsS.jpg?v=1791068747","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/last-suspicious-holdout-stories","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
