Once in Newark, Champ intends to collect on a dubious debt owed by one of Big Hank's old Navy pals, from years earlier. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYears pass and Bunny, now a community activist, is keen on helping her step-hometown rise up after the '67 riots. Champ, on the other hand, is less enthusiastic about Newark's prospects, as well as Bunny's. At one point Champ even urges Bunny to \"flip\" one of the rich \"gayboys\" gentrifying their historic Forest Hill neighborhood; and that's because \"living in a mansion beats cleaning one.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgitated by Champ's perpetual irreverence, Bunny heads for the grocery store where she encounters a chatty stranger. Having always heard about people's lives changing on account of the people they meet grocery shopping, Bunny finds herself drawn to the stranger. The problem, however, is not all of life's changes are necessarily good changes, are they?\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 01, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47239385153785,"sku":"9798985973211","price":20.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VHRWcnhVRUlXU1FDTE93djRGcEFZQT09_fca0353e-633d-4eeb-ace9-08d8ef6d0b53.webp?v=1768561716","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/aint-no-sunshine-paperback-3","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
