"The Walk to Granny's" by D.L. Price is a powerful coming-of-age novella that takes readers on an emotional journey through the streets of Price Hill, a struggling neighborhood in Cincinnati.
The story follows Malik, a young Black boy, who returns home after school to find himself locked out of his house. With no one home to let him in and a sense of unease growing, he decides to take a familiar yet perilous walk to his grandmother's house on the other side of the neighborhood.
As Malik navigates the streets, he encounters the harsh realities of his environment—violence, poverty, and fractured communities—while reflecting on his family, his place in the world, and the memories of past walks with his older brother, Reggie. Along the way, Malik witnesses tense confrontations, dangerous encounters, and glimpses of hope in an otherwise unforgiving world.
Through vivid storytelling and raw emotional depth, D.L. Price paints a poignant portrait of youth and resilience. Malik's journey is not just physical but deeply personal—a search for safety, love, and understanding in a world that often feels indifferent.
"The Walk to Granny's" is a story of family bonds, survival, and the strength it takes to grow up too soon. With its heartfelt reflections and gripping narrative, this novella is perfect for readers who appreciate urban fiction that doesn't shy away from the complexities of life.
Will Malik make it safely to Granny's house? And what lessons will he carry with him along the way? Discover a story that will stay with you long after the final page.
