ISBN: 9780517704288.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEleven-year-old girl Tempestt and her family are given what is considered the chance of a lifetime: to move on up to Lakeland. Its a chance to leave behind the gritty neighborhood Tempestt has known throughout her entire life for one square mile of pristine beauty carved out of a Chicago ghetto and secured by a 10-foot-tall, ivy-covered, wrought iron fence.\n\nTempestt is quickly drawn to the streets beyond the fence, to a place of colorful, often dangerous, characters: 35th Street. Here the saved and the sinners are both so \"done-up\" you cant tell one from the other: Alfred Mayes, the oily preacher and connoisseur of \"fine young thangs,\" whose line is as smooth as honey and whose looks are twice as sweet; and Miss Jonetta, a former lady of the evening who knows everyones stories, and whose own history is as long and dark as 35th Street itself. Barely a month after moving to Lakeland, Tempestt will witness the death of friend, cause the arrest of a preacher, and start a chain of events that will send 35th Street up in flames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"CROWN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44986291683381,"sku":"ByrdShop_0517704285","price":26.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780517704288_5becc2de-21f0-4393-8f9a-e2090a0794e0.jpg?v=1778901932","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/only-twice-ive-wished-for-heaven-9780517704288","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
