But their marriage remains unconsummated because of a horrible incident in Noon's past, so each seeks comfort elsewhere: Noon in the warm acceptance of the neighborhood church; Herbie in the arms of Ethel, a jazz singer. Then one day an infant girl is left on their doorstep, and later Ethel blesses them with her five-year-old niece. Suddenly and unexpectedly a family, Herbie, Noon, and their two girls draw closer--until an outside threat reawakens a fire in Noon, causing her to rise up and fight to hold her family and her community together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiane McKinney-Whetstone's \u003cem\u003eTumbling\u003c\/em\u003e is a poignant, exquisitely rendered story of the ties that bind us and the secrets that keep us apart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45118188421271,"sku":"9780061792120","price":1561.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780061792120.webp?v=1767274115","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/tumbling-9780061792120","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
