Item description from seller

[African American Young Adult fiction] Edith Jackson. Rosa Guy. First Edition. Viking Press New York, 1978. Measures 6.25 x 9.25 inches. 187 pages. Green cloth boards with yellow spine and gold gilt text. The story follows 17 year-old Edith Jackson as she sets out to find work and provide a home for her three sisters. Characteristic of Guy's unfiltered treatment of the difficulties faced by young adults. A founding member of the Harlem Writers Guild in 1950, Rosa Guy went on to become one of the most acclaimed authors of young adult fiction in the 20th century, known for writing openly on subjects of race and sexuality. Writing during a time when pop cultural representations of black life for young Americans was often one-dimensional and exploitive, her work provided an alternative beloved by readers for its authenticity and candor. Ex libris with stamped texblock and title page. Textblock clean and bright. Sunning to front and back boards. Overall very good condition.
