Bestselling author Alex Kotlowitz is one of this country's foremost writers on the ever explosive issue of race. In this gripping and ultimately profound book, Kotlowitz takes us to two towns in southern Michigan, St. Joseph and Benton Harbor, separated by the St. Joseph River. Geographically close, but worlds apart, they are a living metaphor for America's racial divisions: St. Joseph is a prosperous lakeshore community and ninety-five percent white, while Benton Harbor is impoverished and ninety-two percent black. When the body of a black teenaged boy from Benton Harbor is found in the river, unhealed wounds and suspicions between the two towns' populations surface as well. The investigation into the young man's death becomes, inevitably, a screen on which each town projects their resentments and fears. The Other Side of the River sensitively portrays the lives and hopes of the towns' citizens as they wrestle with this mystery--and reveals the attitudes and misperceptions that undermine race relations throughout America.Binding Type: Paperback

Suction cups aren’t the best
Color: Black+Smiley Face
The suction cups don’t hold and my smiley sponge isn’t snug on the post so it sometimes falls off.

Sticks and stays in place!!
Color: Black+Smiley Face
Love love loveeee this! Took me a while to find one that actually sticks and stays in place.
I've had mine for a few months now. Looks just like the photos & comes with the suction cups and an adhesive strip if you want a firmer hold.
The suction cups work just fine.
Would recommend 👍🏾😁

MoreThan Just A Shelf
Color: 1set, Size: 24inch
Absolutely love this Helsin 3-Tier Industrial Pipe Shelf! It completely transformed a blank wall in my home office into a stylish, functional display area that’s equal parts rustic charm and industrial cool. The real wood shelves are thick, sturdy, and beautifully finished with that perfect rustic vibe. Combined with the heavy-duty black metal piping, this unit feels rock solid once mounted. Zero wobble. I was honestly surprised at how simple the installation was. All the parts were included, instructions were clear, and it went up faster than expected. I had it securely mounted to studs in under 10 minutes. This shelf works just as well for books, plants, décor, or collectibles. I’ve got a mix of framed photos, succulents, and vintage finds on mine, and it handles the weight with no issue. It gives vertical storage without eating up floor space, and the combination of rustic wood and industrial pipe makes it a true statement piece. I’ve had multiple compliments already! I could see this shelf fitting perfectly in living rooms, kitchens, offices, or even bathrooms. It’s compact enough for smaller spaces but bold enough to stand out in larger rooms. Highly recommended!
