Halsey Street is a story of two sisters and a lifelong friendship. The youngest sister, Alice, moves to the city to live with her older sister Lisa. Lisa has just gotten married and is about to have a baby and Alice has always been closer to her than her other siblings. When Lisa dies in childbirth, Alice is heartbroken but does what needs to be done as she takes care of her sister's daughter.
Halsey Street tells the story of a young girl with a strong sense of justice. The book is set in 19th-century America, and the protagonist's father has been hanged for stealing a ham. Halsey, who is only six years old, believes that her father would not have stolen anything. She sets out to find the person who actually stole the ham and bring him to justice.
The Halsey Street audiobook is set in New York City, where the narrator, Bahni Turpin, is a graduate student living in the projects. She takes an internship at a publishing house and loves it until she meets Richard Gere. He begins pursuing her, but this leads to trouble when she catches him stealing from her boss. As she tries to leave him, he starts stalking her and they end up falling in love. Once they get engaged, however, Richard's stalker begins sending packages with animals in them across the city. This leads to more trouble for Bahni and eventually to murder.
Naima Coster's Halsey Street is a poignant, insightful tale about the struggles of two young women of different ethnicities who meet on the street outside an abandoned building. The first woman, Ruby, is undocumented and homeless. She works in a factory for twelve hours a day, five days a week, to send money back home to her son. The second woman is Hallee and she has just been released from prison after serving time for shooting her abusive father to death. They both have their baggage and they've never met anyone like themselves before.
Naima Coster writes about her life as an African-American teenager in the 1970s. She tells the story of a teenage girl who is abandoned by her family, moves in with her aunt, and falls in love with her childhood neighbor. Halsey Street provides a glimpse into a different American experience than one typically finds in literature.
