The Street
By Ann Petry
About this book
Lutie Johnson rents an apartment in Harlem and works to make a stable life for herself and her young son. Finding housing and a steady income means negotiating people with power over both. Petry uses the building and the street around it to show how race, money, and gender shape a single family’s range of choices.
