City In A Forest

I read Ginger Pinholster's novel City In A Forest. The story is set in Atlanta, Georgia which has the nickname city in a forest. In this story two women, Arden and Parker, struggle to save Silver Park. Their story tells some history of Atlanta where the forested parks in black neighborhoods were taken over by white developers. I thought the author was great because by giving details she told a larger story without spelling it out. The details of Arden's cluttered house or Parker's hectic schedule gave me a good picture of what their lives were like. The story was good but the ending could have been better.
