Are you ready to dive into a well-stocked counter of stories that explore the heart of Harlem—its people, their struggles, their resilience, and their untold dreams? If so, you won’t want to miss the latest series by Scarlet Ibis James.
Each story takes you on an intimate journey through the life of Candice, a Harlem bodega worker, whose daily encounters reflect the tension between survival and hope in a rapidly changing neighborhood.

You’ll meet Dante, a restless young man straddling the line between survival and slipping, and Mr. Jackson, whose decades of wisdom aren’t found in textbooks but in the streets he’s survived. And then there’s Brian, a man who represents the new face of Harlem—wealthier, more connected, but still struggling to find his place amid the change.
