I really enjoyed this eye-opening piece and would definitely recommend it to others. It made me take a step back and really think about our society and the systems we have in place.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this. I will be posting a full review to Goodreads, Amazon, and Instagram.

Very powerful and it almost has a tangible feeling of passion in the reporting style. It was meticulously researched - there is a wonderful balance between telling these personal stories, while also showing a higher-level commentary on housing in Baltimore overall. It was dry and textbook-style at times, but then again, I do not read a lot of non-memoir non-fiction, so that was tough to get through at times. But overall, very informative.

An important book a book that is an eye opening look at Baltimore at segregation and the segregated.A perfect title that clearly explains the world we live in the separation between the races.This was so well researched so involving could be used in university classes and would be great for book club discussions, #netgalley #Thenewpress

This is a book by a journalist who took a hard look at the segregated history, and the history of segregation, of Baltimore, MD. If you've read the Kerner Report...you already know what happened (and is still happening).

Recommended for history geeks, civil rights scholars, housing and education activists, and legislators at every level.

The Lines Between Us Two Families and a Quest to Cross Baltimore’s Racial Divide Lawrence Lanahan was eye-opening read. Over the past year investigation Journalism has become my new favorite and I am so happy to add this book to my new favorite list. Lanahan dives deep into politics, segregated neighborhoods and more, Lanahan did his research on this one, and because of that I have moved Evicted and The Color of Law up on my “To Be Read” list. I know I am not saying much here but this book is phenomenal, it should be a required read. America we still have work to do. Thank you, News Press, and NetGalley for this free copy in exchange for an honest review.

I did not finish this one. The writing was stilted and the point of view felt privileged and out of touch in places
