Gloria Naylor's " Linden Hills"

From the Paper:

"Gloria Naylor's Linden Hills is a novel that tells the story of a black neighborhood built and supported by the manipulative and mysterious Nedeed family. The first Luther Nedeed to arrive from the South bought the apparently worthless land and established his undertaker's business there. Each succeeding generation of Nedeeds consisted of one son who was the exact image of his father and bore the same first name. The first Nedeeds had hoped to defy the white world and the white God by establishing the worth of the black people who lived in Linden Hills. They devoted all their efforts to building up the neighborhood and ensuring that as it improved, and the land became extremely valuable, it remained in the hands of African Americans. But the current Luther Nedeed had become convinced that there was nothing that black people could do to truly change.."
