Tumbling' chronicles
a 20-year secret
RITICS
ORNER
By Kenya Samuels
Banner Features Editor
In the colored section of
1940's Philadelphia, a young
couple is full of hopes and
dreams.
Their dreams are filled with a
house of their own and children
to fill it with. Yet, their hope -
the complete fulfillment of their
marriage - is a far cry from
achieving this dream. Due to
horrible secret in the wife's
past, it seems the couple
marriage may never be able to
consummated.
"Tumbling” ($12, Scribner,
340 pp.) by Diane McKinney-
Whetstone, tells the story of a
young couple, Herbie and
Noon, told in three tales. One
tale features a "pained" Herbie,
who turns to alcoholism and the
arms of Ethel, a nightclub singer,
E^ook IZeview
when he can’t have his desires
fulfilled by Noon. The other tale
focuses on a naive Noon who
finds solace in the local church,
while she fights off the threats of
outside forces to her family's
close-knit community. And the
third tale is the story of the
unconventional family bond
created by Herbie and Noon —
after two little girls are aban
doned on their doorstep.
The two girls, Fannie and Liz,
seem to be the only hope that
Noon and Herbie have of saving
their marriage.
As the girls grow up and
face their own share of life’s
hardships and Herbie and Noon
grow even further apart because
Noon is afraid to face her own
private hell and Herbie can't
understand why.
McKinney-Whetstone
chronicles a page-tuming 20-
year story of a family tumbling
through humor, heartache,
tragedy and above all else-love,
the love of a family and
community.
