Before the supermarket boom, there were corner markets thatpredominated neighborhoods where most people did their grocery shopping. Thesecorner markets sold all of your staples. They were hospitable and served as aneighborhood junction for the exchange of ideas, beliefs and gossip in much thesame way as barbershops and beauty salons still do today. The Family Stone is set in the memory of these institutions longgone from most of the American economic landscape.
It is the year following the long, hot summer inAmerica. Abraham and Winona Stone are the proud owners of Willie's Market, amodest corner grocery store in a working class urban community.
